Living near Melbourne Beach, Florida, we were privileged to witness the ancient ritual of loggerhead sea turtles hauling themselves ashore under moonlit skies to lay their precious eggs in the sand—a truly mesmerizing sight that sparked my fascination with these gentle giants.
This acrylic painting of a graceful sea turtle gliding through turquoise depths, surrounded by sea grasses and coral, is rendered on reclaimed palette board—giving it a unique, textured warmth that echoes the reclaimed shores these creatures call home.
