Maui Green Sea Turtle

oil on canvas panel

SOLD

Well, after painting my 'lemons' and taking a little time off during the holidays, I couldn't wait to get back to painting what I love the most.....underwater in Hawaii!!  Actually, I love painting anything in/from Hawaii!!  This guy was larger than the baby one I had painted earlier and was just a magnificent specimen  of these wonderful creatures.  Isn't it amazing to look at something like this and realize that it is, indeed, prehistoric?  What a treat to experience firsthand.

As anyone who knows me will tell you, I have a huuuge heart for Humpback Whales.  They are such wonderful animals, so gigantic yet the females are such loving, caring mothers and so gentle.  Unless of course, it's mating season, then while the females are caring for the young, the males get a little frisky!  It's that competition thing!  I'm not sure whether the females like the attention or fear for their lives!!!

I apologize for the appearance of the lower right corner of the painting.  It doesn't appear that way on the painting and the top isn't yellow either.  It's all about the camera and the way it photographs the pigments in various lighting.  This painting is really much softer and definitely better blended than it appears here.  You'll have to trust me on this!!
