I have begun making my Christmas gifts and normally I don't like to paint on canvas, but I had this and decided to something with it. I should tell you my reasoning with the canvas. Most of the time the surface isn't smooth and the fabric always has a give to it, so that is why I prefer wood items for painting. The canvas used here however is mounted on a solid board so this one I actually liked. It also measure 16x20 if you are interested at all.
Many friends and acquaintances like turtles, so, I have become pretty quick with drawing and painting them and I try to vary the shell when I do. That is the funnest part! For this one, color is the way that I accented the shell. This will be a gift for one of my nieces, but I'm not sure which one yet. I am lucky to have family that appreciates the fact that I make most of my gifts. They really seem to look forward to what I do next. Fingers crossed that they like this one!
