Sea Turtle on a Coral Reef print In Cold Blood Small circular shapes in whiteI love snorkelling and you will often find me at the nearest beach or on a snorkeling cruise through New Guinea. This is one of many turtles and coral reefs that I have painted. It features a blue green sea turtle swimming over a multi coloured coral reef with sunlight shining down through the water. The actual painting is painted from my memory rather than an actual photograph so I use my creative side to come up with the design and coral.
