Day 8 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

Day 8 Wait for Me! 7x7 Watercolor

It took a few days of studying this underpainting but I finally saw the turtle at the bottom.  I pulled out our photos from our trip to the Big Island in Hawaii many years ago taken with an underwater camera.  It was my first snorkeling experience and we were fortunate that day with a storm coming that quite a few of the green sea turtles were swept close into shore at Kahaluu Beach Park.  See you can save your photos and pull them out!


There is something endearing about turtles but they were so big it was a little frightening to be that close to them and you really aren't supposed to touch them or get too close.
