  • The artist known as Wyland has painted more than 100 murals around the globe featuring life-sized depictions of whales and other sea life. Correspondent Tracy Smith joined Wyland as he touched up a mural in Seattle, to discuss his creation of what has come to be a worldwide aquatic gallery - each artwork a public love letter to the ocean and its inhabitants.

    I was lucky enough to buy an original painting 30+ years ago when he opened a small gallery on 2nd street in BelmontShore, CA. I cherish it every day.

    My first year teaching in 1998 my classroom looked out upon a mural of whales and dolphins on the side of the museum. It was always grateful for that mural. The more stressful my year became the more thankful I was for that year. A big thank you to mural painters everywhere

    So glad to see this and relive the memories of watching him paint the Edgewater in Seattle 2 years ago. Everything Wyland does is for the sake of the animals and helping people grow closer to them .. which is far more meaningful and powerful than praise from any art critic. 🌎🎨💙
