Title: The Orca
Material: Acrylics
Size: 16in x 12in
I based this painting on a photo I came across which captured a fisherman fixing his nets, the boat sitting in harbour. Although I’ve tried to find some information about the photo, I’m not sure which harbour this is other than it being situated in the East Neuk of Fife. A shark-fishing boat called The Orca was depicted in the film Jaws. The Orca (killer whale) is the largest member of the dolphin family. I wonder which one inspired the naming of this fishing boat.
