‘Gentle Curiosity’
A fine art print of my beautiful painting of a curious seal in the rolling ocean.
Originally painted in Acrylic on a small canvas, this painting has been lovingly reproduced into beautiful fine art archival prints.
Measuring approx. 11.5x11.5 inches - cut size may vary - to fit a 12x12 inch mount for a 12x12 inch frame
Please note - this print does not come framed and will be shipped rolled and tubed or flat depending on shipping.

A moment of pure, quiet connection between a wild soul and the vast Atlantic.
As you gaze into the seals dark, soulful eye, you see a creature that has just paused mid-journey. He has emerged from the surging teal currents, his whispered face tilted upward as if catching a scent of the salty sea spray. The ocean around him is alive with motion, frothing White Sea foam and emerald waves - yet there is an incredible sense of stillness in his expression. He is the calm centre of the ocean’s chaos.
Behind him, the world dissolves into a soft, dreamlike scene. The blurred, glistening light from the enchanting reflection of the sun; its magical glow of the ocean at noon, where every droplet of water becomes a floating pearl. This painting suggests a journey that is both physical and spiritual, moving through a seascape that feels as much like a dream as it does a reality.
this piece is for a collector who values the curiosity and the gentle strength of nature. Resilient and bold - yet soft and playful. It captures that fleeting second when a wild animal chooses to share its world with yours, reminding us of the unknown wonder that lies just beneath the surface. It is a depiction of belonging, resilience and the quiet beauty of life lived in harmony with the tides.
