I love doing paintings where iam looking down on the subject. Its like a birds eye view of the subject and surroundings. I was half way through this painting when i noticed a beautiful turtle playing around in the white water near the rocks. I just had to stop and look at it for awhile,it wasnt in a hurry to move on either. Hence the name i have given this painting. I thought it was a nice title to give it. This would look great in a beautiful frame and hanging in any room of the house. This was painted in oils on mdf board.
