Honu at Carlsmith Ice Ponds

As I watched this lovely Honu rock  back in forth in the gentle ocean current...dining on limu... I was inspired to paint.  He is a regular at Carlsmith ice ponds and seems to enjoy swimming with the people as much as they enjoy him.  I have named him Walter.  I chose watercolor as my medium to give it sparkle and as a painter I enjoy the way the dark areas lead the viewer through the painting.  The light areas work well to anchor him into the composition.  The original is 11 x 14 painted on 140 lb cold pressed watercolor paper.   For information call 808-987-0735  Beautifully displayed in a tortoise shell frame.   $600.
