A pair of images depicts turtles, both small and large, in their various habitats: on lily pads and in the ocean among the seaweed. Warm colors conveyed through the medium of oil pastels creates the vivid greens, golden browns, purples and blues that exist at the surface of deep intense tropical waters as turtles swim among the sunlit waters of a pond or an ocean. This painting presents the possibility of dividing it into two separate images if desired.
