A hawksbill sea turtle glides through luminous Hawaiian waters off Maui, its ancient face catching the warm filtered light just below the surface. Painted in oil on a solid wood panel, the richness of the medium gives the underwater world a depth and luminosity that canvas simply cannot replicate — the cerulean blues, the glowing reef greens, the warm sienna of the shell all vibrating against the deep. One of those pieces that painted itself. Original oil on wood panel, signed by the artist. Art: 11¾" × 8½" on 11¾" × 11¾" × 1¼" wood panel frame.
