Artwork Description

Swimming with dolphins had always been on my bucket list. They are one of my favourite animal ...
I marvel at their speed and agility, their intelligence, and how they always look like they were having a great time . Joy is a dolphin at Queensland's Seaworld on the Gold Coast that I was fortunate to spend some time with! a wonderful memory and a true pleasure to bring to life in my art.
Fun Facts: Dolphins can dive deeper than 450m and hold their breath for over 5 minutes!

they are curious, playful and incredibly intelligent animals, loved the world over for their playful nature with a permanent cheeky smile. I hope in some way I have captured this in my painting “Joy” and the joy it will brings to the viewer.

_ANDO _ 21 artworks | 6 Sold

Ando is the only artist to have ever created not only the world's largest work of art (that could only be seen from a plane) but also the world's largest canvas painting by a single artist (almost 100 metres around!).
...yet, he is also known for his incredible detailed canvas paintings.
Ando has an incredible portfolio of work that reflects his style of 'ando realism' - an amazing feel for composition, perception, reflection, depth, shadow & light. The viewer wants to drink the wine, walk into the landscape or touch the feathers of each bird. An incredible feat for an artist who has never had an art lesson in his life!

A picture may say a thousand words, but Ando's paintings will leave you speechless!

Ando has been painting since he was four and has been a professional artist for more than thirty years having sold thousands of paintings and prints to collectors around the world.
We will be adding more info on Ando and his career in the "In the Studio" section here on Bluethumb. We also like sharing the stories about Ando's amazing art!

This is Ando's first venture with an online gallery and is very excited about sharing his work with you via Bluethumb!.

Look for his release of future collections including:
- wine
- food and candy
- outback & australiana
- birds
- seascapes
and whatever other themes he wants to challenge himself with!!!
