Throwback Thursday! Had to repost to celebrate. This gorgeous human made history getting engaged to her lady love on the finale.

Another fun part about this series is that I have been taking some time to learn about each species I paint. Did you know that a group of stingrays is called a Fever? Still thinking of a title for this one! 15x20" QoR watercolour on 140lb coldpress Arches. #rays #stingray #stingrayart #eagleray #stingrays #watercolour_gallery #watercolors #watercolor_daily #watercolour #qorwatercolors #archespaper #dakinart #oceanconservation #yegarts #sprucegrove #canadianarts #canadianartist #abarts

"Orcinus" - fancy science names make great titles 😉 Well, for me anyway! This leaping Orca is a large 15x22" watercolour on 140lb coldpress Arches paper. #orca #killerwhale #orcas #orcaart #oceanart #watercolors #watercolour #watercolor_gallery #watercoloroftheday #oceanconservation #sealife #archespaper #danielsmith #danielsmithwatercolors #alliedartscouncilofsprucegrove #sprucegrove #abarts #canadianartist #yegarts

A wee starfish for you this Wednesday. This is a smaller painting in the collection. The original is about 5x8", with prints cropped to a standard 4x6". I loved the purple and blue starfish at the Vancouver aquarium during our last visit, and look forward to painting more from my selection of references 😊 What colours would you like to see in upcoming starfish or other sea life? #starfish #starfishpainting #seastar #seastars #watercolour #watercolors #oceanart #sealife #watercolor_gallery #createdaily #artistsofig #canadianartist #ymmarts #yegarts #oceanconservation

"Viola" the rescued Harbour Seal. Marine Mammal Rescue, an Ocean Wise initiative partnered with the Vancouver Aquarium, generously allowed me to use one of their patients as a reference photo. In return, a portion of this painting's proceeds will "adopt" a seal pup in need. 16x20" watercolour #seal #harbourseal #marinemammalrescue #seals #sealart #oceanart #watercolour #watercolors #watercolor #watercolor_daily #oceanconservation #dakinart #yegarts #canadianartist #sprucegrove
