Original artwork description:

This painting uses acrylic paints on handmade paper. It also uses metallic acrylics to capture a translucent affect and the illusion of the turtle heads changing. Neutral tones, use or warm colors, earth tone palate and grays. I saw this turtle in Egypt and was inspired.

“Inspired by a turtle along the banks across from the Suez Canal. This is the story behind the painting it uses metallic acrylics to capture the illusion of the turtle heads changing and moving. My dream is to put my feet into all the oceans and important waters of the world. My friend in Egypt surprised me by taking me on a picnic during the feast of Eide, along the Suez Canal to eat lamb and visit. I put my feet in the water, I saw a little fish on the sidewalk and a little turtle along the rocks.” - Katherine Grace
