Sea Lion King
Hand-painted Silk; Image size: 20"x26"

The Vancouver Island fishing village of Uclulet is home to numerous tour boats that
offer the opportunity for visitors to glimpse some of the wild marine mammals living in the area.
While the intent is primarily to see the elusive whales, a visit to the sea lion colonies offers an up-close
view of these majestic (and very smelly) creatures. Accustomed as they are to the tour boats,
they barely blink an eye. In fact, this fellow practically posed for the tourists — to me, a much more
thrilling experience than the grey whale's tale flukes glimpsed briefly through the fog!
