What Brought About this Painting?

After completing 3 small paintings of sea turtles swimming earlier in the week I juggled the question of "one more?" for a few minutes then started this one. Typically, what is cuter than the baby of most animal species anyway? Hence, I felt I needed to do a baby sea turtle.

According to Wikipedia, "The seven existing species of sea turtles are the green sea turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, olive ridley sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, flatback sea turtle, and leatherback sea turtle." Who knew?

Interesting reading - I didn't know that the egg temperature in the nest determines what sex the baby sea turtles are, and as I understand it, sea turtles have been an endangered species for years. And baby sea turtles after hatching have to get to the sea - as fast as possible - as predators want to pick them off before they do. Wow, nature.

So this little guy is "making a break for it" on his mission to get to the sea.

I have done 3 other sea turtle paintings this week so here is another one. Well, I had to have a baby turtle too! Leave your comments!

5:45 on a Friday evening - March 12, 2021 - the window open all day, almost 70 degrees - crazy for March right? I think it was 80, or almost the last couple of days. It is still winter, but it felt GREAT to be outside, doing the mulch thing. And the garden thing. (I'm dreaming of summer tomatoes.)

The Baby Sea Turtle is making a break to get to that water...

8:30 PM March 12, 2021 He's almost there...

What Brought About this Painting?

I read recently that artists often do theme paintings for a period of time. That it was sort of an exploration in the facets and variations around that theme and/or subject(s). Variations that can include, of course colors, but they can run the gauntlet of positions, textures, angles, emotions, backgrounds, foregrounds, time and space. Daytime, nighttime, sun up, sun down, a little to the left, smile like Mona Lisa, or "just act natural" are other options.

Or as simple as, "I already have those colors out or mixed up, so...Here we go again!". Some subjects are just plain fun or interesting to paint too. Maybe some one else can speak more elegantly on the subject, but I'm going with, again, who doesn't like sea turtles! They are FUN to paint.
