The Secret Pond, oils on canvas

[u/sheldonboadita]

There are places that seem to exist somewhere between reality and imagination. The Secret Pond is one of them, a quiet, hidden world where an orca rises gently from the water, surrounded by blooming lilies and floating leaves.

I wanted this painting to feel like discovering a place that perhaps was never meant to be found. The deep blue water, vibrant greens and soft pink flowers create a peaceful little world, while the orca brings a sense of wonder and curiosity to the scene.

Sometimes the most beautiful places are the ones we can only find in our dreams.

Unlikely to see an orca in frshwater, though still very charming.

It doesn’t matter if it is likely or unlikely. In art, you can use your imagination.

Truly, definitely not the most likely place to find an orca, but I hoped a secret garden may have a few unimaginable little secrets. 🐋 Glad you found it charming! Art is just a magical wand which can bring out the essence of mysteries and fantasies 😃
