What inspired me to paint an oceanic white tip?
I have always had a great fascination for all sharks, but I find there is something so beautiful & majestic about the oceanic white tip. They seemingly cruise the ocean with such grace, and I love that they often are accompanied by flickering schools of black and white striped pilot fish. The mutualistic relationship between these sharks and fish to me appear symbolic of the important roles of sharks as ‘care-takers’ of our oceans; helping protect and keep everything in balance. Rather than portraying them as hungry, killing machines that we know the media just loveee to do, we see them living in harmony in a beneficial relationship with these little fish.

Print Details:
This is a Giclee print of an original watercolour painting by Madison Mueller. The original was painted on a large scale (pun intended), the length of the piece was 1m! It is the largest single animal I have painted to date! I loved how this allowed me to capture every tiny detail of the sharks skin, colouration and even scarring!

It is printed on superb quality archival museum grade 310gsm, 100% cotton rag  paper. Made to feel as close to the original as possible with a traditional watercolour textured surface.

All good things take time – All of my prints are made to order, please allow up to 2 weeks for order processing and printing and then standard auspost delivery times.
