Guardian of Resting Souls - Discovery

Guardian Of Resting Souls - Discovery.
 
I painted this after spending weeks swimming with wild dolphins in Belize, and one in particular, that lived around Lighthouse reef. When getting to know this wonderful soul, my first surprise was her facial expressions and moods, which clearly showed in her laugh lines and the wrinkles around her eyes and mouth, her vocals, and her body language. My second surprise was that I would learn her games.  Getting to know her filled days, dreams, and paintings. 
In this dream, she showed me the place where resting souls were guarded. The "Discovery" part of the title was my experience.
I have vivid dreams that are often in story form. I needed to paint this one.
My original painting was a 4'x5' oil on canvas.
