Description

Fine art illustration of a Western Pond Turtle (Actinemys marmorata.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Western Pond Turtle was completed on 1.17.2011. This was a ‘re-do’ from an earlier image, in fact it was one that one a contest run by Reptiles Magazine. However, I felt the style no longer matched the rest of my illustration library, and I feel this pose of the Pond Turtle is more accurate to how you might encounter them in the wild. You can see the ‘legacy’ drawing below in the postcard and magnet.
