Artist’s notes:
The Texas Tortoise was completed on 9.21.09. This marks the 3rd of the North American tortoises I’ve drawn. That leaves only the Giant Mexican Tortoise left. The shell patterns on tortoises are lovely but challenging to render. The carapace is usually a blend of 2-3 colors which are then either highlighted or muted by the pattern of the shell. Understanding this is critical to successfully rendering the complex pattern. The drawing is based on a photo by Mike Jones.

Information about the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle:
The Olive Ridley Sea Turtle - also called the Pacific Ridley Sea Turtle - is considered the most abundant sea turtle on the planet. These reptiles get their name from the coloring of their heart-shaped shell, which starts out gray but becomes olive green later in life. There may be more than one million in the world's oceans today. Compared to other sea turtle species adults are relatively small, weighing on average around 100 pounds (45 kg). Olive Ridleys can be seen at nesting sites on beaches all around the planet, generally in tropical and subtropical areas. When the females are getting ready to nest, its believed they use the wind and the tide to help them find the beach. Females will lay about a hundred eggs, and may nest 1-3 times a year. Olive Ridleys are mostly carnivorous, feeding on such creatures as jellyfish as well as small crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp. It is the only living species not considered to be endangered - although it is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources as vulnerable.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
