"View from the Surface"

Some encounters truly stop time. Like the first time you swim with a sea turtle....

The ocean gently pulls as you bob along....sunlight filters down, painting shifting shades of aqua.

A silent shape emerges from the sandy shallows. She's not a hasty creature, but then again, neither are you.

A master of buoyancy, she moves with the water in ways you only wish you could. You try to emulate her, relaxing into the water and letting the gently lapping waves move you and the honu in rhythm.

And then she makes eye contact with you, and your heart skips a beat.

This 4x4 watercolor captures that ethereal moment. It's painted on wrapped canvas. A whisper of textured medium adds interest. Protected with a clear coating, it's ready to hang with a wire hanger on the back. No frame necessary.

Nothing can truly describe your first time swimming with sea turtles....but this little painting just might get you lost in that memory. It's a portal to that "magical Hawaii moment," just beneath the surface.

Just you and the honu.
