Turtle Tots
by Linda Hogan on 1/21/2010 10:21:54 AM


Three Turtle Tots at the beach
I have a total of 5 small Turtles completed. They are $175.00 each 3 are in Tropic Art in Vero and 2 are in Melborne Fl in Silken Fine Art. Each is individually sculpted with a different face and hand painted in oils.Some seem to be laughing or talking. I feel such a connection to the sea turtles that I have painted and sculpted them almost exclusivly for the last 5 years. In Florida I have seen tthe mothers coming on shore to lay their eggs and have been lucky enough to see the hatchlings emerge. I've helped to rescue some and have learned a lot about the perils they face. One researcher told me that only about 1% ever survive to adulthood. Recently in Florida the cold weather had a huge impact on the turtles and other marine life. Hundreds were saved by volunteers who warmed them.
