Colorful image of a whale's tail in the water on a light taupe background.
This work I made especially for 'Our planet week' with the theme of this work 'Oceans'. The image is inspired by the beautiful earth we live on and the beauty that can be found here. The grandeur and grace of the movement of a whale has always fascinated me.

This gives the work a warm and cool but also warm feeling. Earth tones have been used to strengthen this feeling. The work was created digitally on a tablet, but because of the rough drawing strip, it looks like it was painted. This work is a real colorful eye catcher in your interior.
