Title: Humpbacked Whale

Not my usual subject – I know! This was a request, and, my goodness did I have fun painting this one!

So, a little about humpbacked whales….  At up to 15 metres long and 30 tonnes, these magnificent creatures are known for migrating long distances from their feeding grounds to their breeding grounds, sometimes travelling up to a staggering 8000km! Apparently male humpback whales ‘sing’ to their intended during courtship – lovely.
