I have been working on this for a lot longer than appearances would suggest. I'm happy with it compositionally but frustrated with it from a technical standpoint – I'm not very comfortable with watercolor as a medium.
Dissolute Turtle (ink and watercolor).
It looks to me like an angry bird, with a long beak and a pudgy body. The circle near the top is the eye, the pointed line descending from it, the beak.
This is stunning, Jared! It reminds me of the art of North West indigenous peoples a bit, or at least the contemporary art by artists from those traditions. Very cool!
