SALMON

Open edition print by V. Rae

Image size: 12" X 16"

Whether sailing Alaska coastal waters or snorkeling Hawaiian shores, V Rae chronicles natural life through bold portraits that leap from the canvas to your heart.  Defying convention in a startling fusion of color and negative space, V paints Freestyle Expressions that transport each personal encounter through time and space, sharing with the world her seamless blend of art, nature and individual personality. Like Humpback whales, V migrates between Alaska, the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii each year painting from platforms frequented by her subjects.

Artist's narrative: He came limping through the yard Sunday morning out-foxed, no doubt, by another local ruffian in a late night altercation. He paused for a moment, gave me that, 'Heyyy vixen' look, and it was all over. Our time was short, then he moved on leaving only fond memories of our musky days and musky nights.
