No Straw Turtle Hand-Painted Watercolor Illustration Postcard

The Olive Ridley sea turtle is the protagonist of that nostril-straw video that shocked the world. This video might have been the catalyst for Taiwan's government to embark on its path to reduce plastic. It's called an Olive Ridley because it resembles an olive! 😆 Its distinctive features include smoky "eyeliner" eyes and numerous scutes on its carapace. The scutes aren't clearly visible from this angle, but I meticulously painted its smoky eye makeup. I'm smitten with its gaze myself. 😍 Retro tones and delicate scales. The result of over two afternoons of patient work. The straw inserted into its nostril is a real straw, one I actually found on the beach. I even poked a hole in the painting. -- Material: Arches Paper Size: 14.8x10.5cm **Reduce waste, protect the environment, and love the Earth.
