Have not painted
turtles for a while, although I really wanted to. Was just looking for an underwater turtle picture to paint. So happened a friend, Steven Teo, posted some pictures of turtles which he captured on his camera, while diving. Walla..I loved his pictures, and he was very kind in allowing me to download his shots, and thus the painting today.
Since this is the first time I've ever tried anything underwater, it was difficult for me. I'm still learning how to manipulate the watercolour to make the ocean look natural. In the end I think I overlapped too many colours and water was a little messy. Well, this is only the first attempt, and I will be trying it several times more and hopefully get better at the art of painting underwater scenes.

| Here's the painting in Original Colour. My DD decided that her mermaid would love to ride this turtle. LOL :) I'm sure her idea (and my painting) was inspired by Prof Chan Eng Heng's storybook Little Turtle Messenger, a book my children really love and have read over and over again. :) |

What a wonderful talent. I took art in college and although I am still bad, I definitely have an appreciation for how hard it is.
Glad to see your painting again! The mermaid looks like she is having a fun ride! LOL
My daughter and her friends want to know how they can help when you visit the villages. Is there something they can make and send to you that the families could use, or something else? Please contact me via email at:

Hi Martha, Holy Smoke! You are good! Outstanding!
Love your play of colours and perspective.
Looks 3D too.
Very impressive. You must have scored a distinction in art school days.....
Have fun, and keep a song in your heart.
