Sea Turtle 3 by Amy Crook

This sea turtle is full of attitude. Whatchoo lookin’ at? I’m just swimmin’ here.

I love how his face came out, glaring defiantly straight out of the painting, full of confidence.

He’s entirely painted in three colors and with one brush, with a fourth color (and a different brush) for the background. His colors are mostly the earthy mineral tones of Primatek paints, offset by the vivid Quinacridone gold that’s in both the sunlight and the turtle.

He’s small, but he’s fierce.

Above, you can see his face and the expression of giving no fucks at all. Below, you can see him in his temporary frame, before he swam off to his new home.
