The Inspiration
This Mother and Baby Dolphin, known as a calf or pup, swim alongside each other while hunting near the Clearwater Marina. This original oil painting was inspired by an actual sighting I saw while on an excursion on Encounters with Dolphins in Clearwater, Florida.
About the Mother and Baby Dolphin Painting
Perfect for a grouping or smaller space, this framed painting measures 8 x 16 inches without the floater frame which will add approximately 1 inch (9x16). (Framed photo coming soon) Beautiful Gulf Coast Florida water is created with greenish blue turquoise colors. For visual interest, the dolphins are painted with subtle shades of blue and lavender. Texture shows in the highlights due to the use of a painting knife.
