A nearly square color photo of a stylized ocra whale. The orca is painted in a red-orange and black. It is curved in a crescent shape, as if it jumped out of the water and was diving back in, and pointed toward the left. Its tall dorsal fin is in the center of the image pointing straight up. There are various other images of whale faces painted in the negative space of the body and flippers. The image is framed with an inner border of the same red-orange, then a white mat, and mounted on a black frame.

One of my colleagues at the art supply / frame shop I work at, her boyfriend is Haida (an indigenous person of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America). I love Haida & Tlingit art! So before I retire next week I paid him for a print of this Orca. Today I printed it out & framed it. I'm very happy with how it turned out! Of note, he (Alex) is a very talented painter. I saw the original & his brush technique is spectacularly smooth, like it was printed.(Phone photo.)
