Turtle

I went to the Galapagos in 2012. It is well hyped for it's amazing marine life and the multitude that occupies it's coastal seas. I'd been living in the rainforest and though the wildlife there is similarly hyped to be amazing (which it is) you very rarely see it. The Galapagos lives up to it's hype, as soon as I put my head under water to go snorkelling the first time I was surrounded by masses of colourful, vibrant marine animals, beautiful coral, sea lions, rays, hundreds of different types of fish, marine iguanas, sharks and sea turtles. It was truly amazing. I spent a large proportion of everyday under water while I was there, exploring and enjoying the wonder of it all. The only drawback was the sunburn but I would bear that anytime to swim those waters again. Acrylic on canvas 60cms (24 inches) diameter. SOLD.
