Third and final layer on βThe Life & Times of the Bowhead Whale (268 Years)β. The lifespan of the bowhead whale is considered the longest of any mammal. Quite wonderful to think they have been swimming around our globe all that time.

In 2007, Alaskan hunters made an extraordinary discovery inside a bowhead whale: fragments of a 19th-century exploding harpoon lodged in its body.

Photo of part of a painting showing a bowhead whale, a beluga whale, the outlines of two more bowhead whales, and the filled-in outline of another beluga whale
Photo showing the painting I'm currently working on, with several bowhead whales in various stages of completion from outline to almost fully painted, beluga whales as solid shapes with no details, and an aurora borealis around the whales. There are pale sponges and corals at the bottom of the painting as if they're growing out of the sea floor.
Photo of the same painting as previously described, but with more details on one of the whales on the left side and some of the background aurora repainted around the whales. The whales that are more completely painted are partially covered with masking tape to protect the details and shapes while I redo the auroras, since I'm basically swiping the paint upward from a rippling line and can't trim around more complicated shapes like flippers and flukes
#Painting progress! Ft. masking tape used for masking so I can repaint bits of the background under my #whales It's nice to pick this up again after a month or so of very important knitting projects
#acrylic #bowheadwhale #belugawhale #workinprogress
My current painting in progress. The background transitions from black at the top through blue to a pale green-blue at the bottom, with corals and sponges clustered near the bottom of the canvas. The top has streaks of pale green extending upward from rippling horizontal strokes to represent the aurora borealis. On top of the aurora are the outlines of 5 bowhead whales in dark gray and 6 pale gray-green silhouettes of beluga whales, swimming toward the right-hand side of the canvas. There are no further details added to any of the whales, so everything looks kinda flat and hard to distinguish
My show on Sunday went really well, but I'm excited to have time to paint again! I roughed in the next part of this #WIP I started back in June and am looking forward to #painting all the #whales over the next few days! (Whales are my favorite animals)

Does anyone in central Illinois remember a dial-up BBS (bulletin board service) named Bowhead Whale? I have vague memories of reading and posting there in the early 1990s, back before I accessed the www on Prairienet. #BBS #prairienet #bowheadwhale

A golden sunset landscape featuring a golden river valley that reflects the colors of a golden sky with sparse flat clouds. The sun sets on the horizon casting golden rays across the landscape below. Flying above the landscape and towards the setting sun is a large bowhead whale. Cast in a golden color of the sunset the whale flies towards the horizon.

Longest vs. Shortest: Bowhead whales can live over 200 years! In contrast, the Etruscan shrew has a lifespan of only about 2 years, one of the shortest (and smallest) among mammals. #BlackMammalogists #BowheadWhale #EtruscanShrew #MammalLifespan

Greenland sharks live longer, but the 200-year lifespan of a bowhead whale is pretty impressive
