This pastel was inspired by me going on a holiday to Vava'u Tonga about 6 years ago, where you can swim with Humpback Whales! It would have to be one of the most amazing animal encounters you could ever have!
I have been back many times since.
I wanted to frame this piece with something that resembled drift wood so I went on a hunt with a friend and ended up finding a perfect bit of old timber to cut into a frame. (Please be aware that pastels need to be sent framed to protect them) To protect the artwork I have used http://tru-vue.com/solution/optium-museum-acrylic/ which is the highest quality acrylic you can buy.
