Seal, somebody is chasing me. 6x8 Oils on board.


This seal looks like he is swimming away fast from something - to me anyway. He looks worried don`t you think?

  1. What a fabulous painting Vic.
    The water is displaced by the weight of the seal. He does look like he his floating and supported with its volume.

  5. Hi Vic,

    Love your treatment of water,it's such a difficult subject to paint. I love the colors as well as the movement you captured. As for the poor fellow, he does look worried. Well done my friend.

  6. He does look worried! But in a very cute way. I'm liking these animal ones a lot...I have to try this subject too!

  9. A great job! I especially like the way you handled the water and the seal's sideways glance.

  11. Love this little face!!! It reminded me of my favorite movie- "Secret of Roan Inish"....if you've seen this movie- this face (esp. the eyes) will really get to you! I've never looked at seals the same since! yes, you've just 'gotta' see this movie if you haven't yet!!
