Lemaire Channel Sunset; Sleeping Giant, Paradise Harbour; Mceown painting aboard a One Ocean Expeditions ship at Point Wild on Elephant Island; Orca Hunt, one of Mceown’s most recent works, is based on a sketch the artist began on a recent One Ocean Expeditions journey. The artist and passengers watched a pod of orca hunting a leopard seal on a small ice floe just north of the Lemaire Channel. “The whales swam toward their prey, and created a wave to destabilize the ice and knock the seal off,” says Mceown. “The seal survived and the orca moved on.”; After the Storm, near Brown Bluff on the Antarctic Sound; Courting n.2, on the sea ice near Snow Hill Island, Antarctic Peninsula.
