Eye to Eye Orca Painting by Lindsey Keates
70x100cm Boxed Canvas
Extreme weather fronts
Completed in April 2019, inspired by news of the Orcas held in captivity, freedom for 100 found in water caves, Russia.
At this time Lindsey was compelled to paint the skyline of Chicago within the Orcas eye, with tears to reflect sadness of stark climate shifts such as minus 27 degrees below zero. with a windchill of minus 40 degrees.
“ For me at this time I recall facebook having lots of clips showing peoples frozen hair, Cardboard like washing stood in the snow and kettles of hot water being thrown in the air, freezing instantly, just like the movies!
I also painted another Orca painting titled ‘Comet’ at this time, based on a pod of 7 Orcas that travel between the Hebrideas via Cornwall, The Scillies and all the way to Ireland, I believe I was even more excited to read that another one was spotted at the River Thamar, Plymouth a few years ago, obviously the Cornish fish and wildlife attract, fascinating stuff!”

The orca, also known as the killer whale, is the largest and perhaps most recognizable species in the Delphinidae family. These creatures are highly intelligent—so intelligent, in fact, that they have even been observed learning to communicate like other dolphin species.
Despite how iconic these massive mammals are, orcas are incredibly different to study in the wild. They are classified as “Data Deficient” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), meaning that there isn’t enough information on population or distribution to make an accurate assessment of their conservation status.1 (The only exception is in the case of a small subpopulation of orcas living in the Strait of Gibraltar; they are listed as "Critically Endangered" by the IUCN.2) More to read via the linked title above.
