Finished 48x24 commissioned whale painting

A client wanted a pair of humpback whales with a sense of urgency. Depicting the fight for survival against whale hunting.  I've never painted whales before, so I dove into studying them. Studying water and light rays.  I'm happy with it. The owner is extremely pleased.

Revamp of old painting

I was never satisfied with this painting.  I decided to highlight the texture of the entire tree.  The tree's texture was created using pallet knife and a mixture of acrylic stucco medium, acrylic glaze, and acrylic paint.  I still have more detailing.  My good camera took a dive so this was taken with my iPhone.  Needless to say it's a little out of focus.  Anyone know of any good camera deals?
