"Our Ocean Friends" Painting

My gallery exhibits are usually Giclee prints of the finest quality. All prints are shipped in eco friendly tubes, signed and numbered with my certificate of authenticity. If you prefer canvas prints please let me know, the canvas is wrapped around all edges of the stretcher frame so no framing is necessary, hanging hardware is included. Canvas prints ship in a crate and usually require longer shipping time. My love of the ocean and experience as a certified ocean diver I've visited many of the beautiful reefs in the world, these journeys inspired my ocean series collection. There are many legends and, in more recent times, news reports of dolphins coming to the aid of humans in peril. Victims of shark attacks tell of dolphins rushing to the scene and repelling sharks with high-speed blows, and drowning swimmers have testified that dolphins lifted them to the surface to breathe. A dolphin's sonar penetrates a human body, making our skeletons, lungs and heart visible (dolphins are even able to hear an embryo's heartbeat, and are especially fascinated by pregnant women). As fellow mammals, it is possible that dolphins recognize similarities in humans, and understand that we are vulnerable to drowning and attacks from predators. According to oceanographers and the world's foremost dolphin experts, what we can say is that rescue behavior in dolphins is not automatic or purely instinctual. "Dolphins make conscious decisions about when they intervene, they weigh up the situation and are selective about who and in which circumstances they help,"
