It was a wonderful day to sit on a rock in the sun. This little guy certainly thought so. He was the perfect model, not moving even when kids were throwing rocks at him. For a minute I thought he may be a statue, but no. Just as I was packing up to leave, he repositioned himself so the sun was again on his back.
I am thoroughly enjoying my Thursday plein air painting and this morning was no exception. We met at Descanso Gardens and I decided to paint on a smaller panel, 8x10 instead of 11x14. I wanted to do a more intimate scene, so even though there was a lovely waterfall nearby, I chose to paint the turtle on a rock. I am glad I did because I really like him. He is looking for a home so if you want to adopt him just click on the title.
