"Mantas Life" is an original oil painting by Tom Applegate which features a majestic manta ray on a 10x12 wood panel. The panel, a Series 2 X-Panel, consists of two sheets of red oak plywood with a central carbon fiber layer. The painting surface is meticulously prepared with high-quality acrylic-primed canvas, and Old Holland's premium oil paints were used to bring the artwork to life.
