Description
This sweet little honu ( Hawaiian sea turtle ) is making her way to the surface for a quick breath of air. Sea turtles lived through the age of the dinosaurs. They survived the earth's ice age, and are considered the true ancients of the world. They have been swimming the oceans for over 200 million years.
In Hawaii, legend tells us about a green sea turtle, Kauila, who could change herself into a girl to watch over the children playing at Punalu'u Beach on the Big Island. When Kauila's mother dug her nest, a fresh water spring surged upward, quenching the children's thirst. Kauila is the "mythical mother" of all turtles, and perhaps of our children as well. It's also said that turtles were the guides for the first voyagers to Hawaii.
This painting is on a 5x7 art panel with a textured canvas like surface. I used acrylic paints, watered down for a "watercolor painting" look.
