DescriptionAcrylic painting on canvas of two killerwhales in Haida formline technique. Killerwhales are depicted one above the other; the bottom killer whale is rendered in a white outline, and the one below in a black outline. The two whales are depicted against a minimal landscape painted in deep blue to purple hues, suggesting the ocean merging into the sky at the horizon. Each of the whales shows a different pose; the top whale appearing to be leaping out of the water, and the bottom whale submerging below the water line.

The painting's canvas is stretched over a wood frame and stapled to the wood on the back side. The artist's signature, Raven Le Blanc appears on the lower left of the wood frame in black ink. The date, "Sept. 2017" is inscribed opposite on the right.
