I was 5 when I painted this :) inspired, I think, by the turtle we had for a class pet. Or maybe my brother and I had found a box turtle in the back garden. Who knows where I got the idea.
It seems I wasn't remarkably co-ordinated with drawing the shell but none-the-less, I've captured a lot of detail - even his little tail! However I didn't know that turtles have ears, or maybe this one did!
(I don't think I'm the one that wrote my name on this one, though, because I used to spell my name "Kritin", always losing the "s" somewhere). LOL.
Anyway, just thought I'd share a bit of the young artist Kelise.
p.s., I sign my name to my art Kelise, which is a mash-up of my first initial, K and my middle name Elise. I don't sign my surname because that has changed a few times over my life, and so, in terms of identity, the surname doesn't seem that important to assign to my artwork.
Humm. How about turtle soup for dinner :)
