This painting has a little story - Ling Chen had always been fascinated by sharks. He could never help but watch their graceful movements in the water, and they always seemed so powerful. Ling Chen arrived in Hawaii and was immediately struck by the size of the reef. The sharks were as big as buses and more than a dozen boats were filled with tourists, all of whom were screaming and taking photos. The tour guide gave a brief introduction to the sharks and their habitats. Ling Chen was fascinated to learn that these creatures could grow to be more than 20 feet long and weigh more than two thousand pounds.
