Turtle Beneath Turquoise Waters

A sea turtle is seen from above, its patterned shell and outstretched flippers emerging crisply against a luminous field of turquoise water. The carefully rendered anatomy contrasts with the loose, tide-like washes surrounding it, while irregular white blooms and splatters suggest sunlight breaking across the surface. Centered in the vertical composition, the turtle moves upward through an open expanse that gives the piece a quiet sense of depth and freedom.
