Turtle

I had planned on entering this piece in a contest but then I went a different route with my submission. I love the color scheme and the "pose" of the turtle. It feels like a modern still-life homage to classical painting (at least that's how I think of it).

Artfest 2012

I've been at Artfest in Port Townsend the past few days learning and playing with paints and collage. I took a two day workshop with Jesse Reno and this is one of the pieces I painted. It's definitely not finished and I don't even know if I like it but it was fun to create.
