One of my blogger friends, Chuck at Apocalypse Now, was following and asked me about using an underwater photograph taken by his wife in Honduras to make a painting as a surprise gift for her for their 12th wedding anniversary. I agreed to do it then worried as I always do with commissioned pieces that he might not be happy. The Sea Turtle turned out to be one of my favorite pieces from all the little animal paintings!

I read his post yesterday and the one today - the painting is beautiful, Mary! I even asked him if I can included it in my post today. You did an awesome job.

I just saw it over at Alex's. It's gorgeous.
I saw this over at Alex's earlier, so awesome! The colors of this painting are so beautiful, I love it.
This is a beautiful play in colors and textures. I love it, Mary.
Art has always been a part of my life. Sometimes when the writing muse fails to cooperate the art muse is always present. It feeds the creative spirit in me and always has.
