Such beautiful colors. I really like her facial expression and the tadpoles traving across the way.

Tadpoles swimming into a flower with a beautiful woman behind them? Subtle.
I've always wondered what it would take for a turtle to fly.

"it's spring again"
Breeding Season! Half-human/half sea turtle. Gods own plan for all of us.
Beautifully done, and I must admit, just a little goofy? Nice job though.

her hair is such a brilliant contrast with the ocean. great spaced-out expression as all of the symbols interact.

Are you painting from a model or memory/imagination? (For the woman)
Those aren't her tadpoles, are they? If so she'd be a lot more like the flower than you usually find among humans.

that does explain the very pale look... at least you made a fill flash look good!
No I'm being a nice guy today. There are days when I'm not, but on those days call me a slag. It's a Poison Elves thing.

Wow your pictures can be so misterious, I love polywogs and the beautiful detail on the turtles legs.
Wonderful job getting contrast between the gorgeously colored hair and the pale skin of the lady.

Bizzarre! The flying turtles are wicked (I'm sure there was a Joecartoon sketch with a flock of sky turtles) and it's brilliant how you've made the tadpoles disappear into the spots on the flower. And the face is even more photo-realistic than usual. I'm going to check weather reports for turtles very carefully from now on if I ever go skydiving... owchie.

many thanks! sea turtles are some of my favorite animals..they just look like they'd be able to fly, don't they? but they can't, no matter what height one drops them from

u just keep churning out fabulous pieces doncha?
i just adore the way you let the animals infuse with the rest of this piece; the way the tadpoles go into the flower and form its design and the way the turtles look merely like painted clouds. to me, you've portrayed a union between life. still life and animal life. but all of it is life. and us, at the core of creation; we have been left the duty of taking care of it all.
love it

Oh WOW... :mfg: This is incredible. ... *awe* You're soooOOOooo skilled with paint!
I LOVE THIS PICTURE, it's dream-like quality as well as it's realism *yeah*
The turtles look sooo very cute And also the flow and motion in the pic in my opinion indicates an eternal circle of live *sigh*

Fine work. The mouth is set in a bit of an odd way.

yeah, that's just the model, in this case...the corner of her lip sometimes curls up just before she is going to smile. or when she's disgusted. i had the smile in mind for this piece.

i think that the artist ment to render the mouth in such a manner....its portraying a mood or feeling that I can't quite put my finger on

Turtles that look as though they're flying, tadpoles that seem like a shoal of sperm ... brilliant
