I would like to share with you this latest painting I did on 11 X 14 stretched canvas using acrylic paint. This painting needs no frame and is ready for hanging as it is!
Sea turtles live to about 80 years old. But I find their beginning the most amazing. As you can tell in my painting above, the Sea Turtle is not made for land as many turtles are, but they are well adapted for aquatic life. Still the pregnant female will drag herself up a long beach and with her hind legs, dig a large, circular type hole of about 20 inches wide. Then she lays anywhere from 50 to 350 eggs. She them carefully covers the eggs back with sand before she returns to the water.
In about 60 days, the baby turtles hatch and dig their tiny bodies out of the sand and craw to their watery home. The larger babies are stronger and faster and have a higher chance of making it to the somewhat safety of the water.
