Information about the Wood Turtle:

Wood Turtles belong to the genus Glyptemys. There are two species of Wood Turtle in this Genus and both live in North America in the areas of the Northeast and Great Lakes. They are medium to small-sized turtles, with a carapace reaching between 6-9 inches. The Wood Turtle spends most of it’s time in forested areas, but it is also semi-aquatic and needs to be near streams, ponds and rivers. In some US states the Wood Turtle is in decline and considered endangered or vulnerable.

• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil

Description

Fine art illustration of a Wood Turtle (Glyptemys insculpta.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Wood Turtle line art version was completed in 2005 and the digital tinting added in 2007. These turtles are simply amazing to look at, and I don’t know of any other species with the distinctive coloration of browns, yellows and oranges of the shell and body. The drawing is based upon a photo by Stephen V. Silluzio and is used with his permission. UPDATE: This drawing was re-done in December of 2015 based on a photo by Don Carlin. The turtle’s name is “Niblet.”
