[image_with_animation image_url=”9902″ alignment=”” animation=”None” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”] As part of our Art & Activism series with Fredericka Foster and the Salish Sea Project, the League has adopted an orca whale. Proceeds from orca adoptions support ongoing education, research and public outreach through the Whale Museum. There were many whales up for adoption, and League artists voted to adopt Lazuli, an orca that’s 3 years old. (He’s the same age as the League!) In clean water with lots of Coho Salmon to eat, orca whales can live 90 years.

UNDERESTIMATING THE TRANSLATION. When I look at a painting made by observation I can’t help but assume that the artist painted what they saw in front of them, more or less. If their marks are colorful angled palette knife shapes as they are in Tina Kraft’s plein air painting above, I assume they pulled the …
