Whale Tail, Tiny Linoleum Block Prints

I love the photos of whale breaches that tell the “whale’s tale” and I wanted to find the essence of the moment, just the whale’s tail, the water and the sky. “Whale Tail I and II” are a simplified, iconic image of a whale’s tail breaching the waves with the clouds over the water in […]
