This is the third in my mother/baby series. I contemplated doing it on white paper like the other two, but the blue matboard was calling to me. I am quite glad I chose the blue!
When whales are born, they come out tail first and only have fifteen seconds or so to catch their first breath of air. The mother lifts the newborn up to the surface with her snout. I haven't decided yet whether I will do limited or open edition prints.

Wow, Heather. I love the wave reflections along the mother's back. Terrific image. Glad you chose the blue too.
Hello Heather

Thanks, Aaron! I chose this pose for just that reason. :)
Glendon - I was happy with how this turned out, but I find water hard to do. I might have to do some more for practice... (dolphins, perhaps? or orcas?)
Shriraj - Thanks! I am quite honored to be named a Blog of Note.
You should totally go public!
Peppoj - I sure am trying!

Amazing! Never knew that.. You should watch Oceans the DisneyNautre Film. It talks about the animals and I can't help by telling you this. You could be interested!
