“Colorful Sea Turtle”

New Art Mixed Media

Sharon Cummings

2014

I decided to give my 25 year old turtle drawing some real color.  There is nothing wrong with trying to mimic nature in art, but I always find it a little boring.  There is no cure for this color junkie. 😉  While I will use the following:  graciously donated photos, public domain work or vintage images from time to time, I much prefer to work with my own photography and graphics.  This little guy posed a real challenge to recreate him in my new “Color Fusion” series, but I think he can swim away now into the colorful sea!

That’s right…it’s not a fish today. 😉  I do enjoy creating artwork with animals as the subject matter.  The Universe has provided us with such an array…so many colors, textures and expressions.  When a friend agreed to allow me to photograph her companion lizard Lizzy, I was thrilled.  Such a beautiful gecko girl with large expressive eyes.  Perfect for a great art painting.  Contrary to the popular belief that reptiles are cold and heartless, Ms. Lizzy is quite the love bug wanting scratches and touch.  Some say reptiles only learn trust and safety and that is why they can respond affectionately.  This may be true, but either way she was a joy to play with, photograph and paint!
