The abstract forms of an animal skull, a sea turtle, create beautiful shapes and colors in this fine art painting. This sea turtle skull is part of a series I am currently working on of animal bones.

Who pulls itself from its shell
Who scrabbles across sand and avoids diving birds
Who gains the receiving depths
Who survives the predatory onslaught
who grows and mates and feels then the purpose
Who crawls upon this beach
One hundred million and one
Returning her ancient promise.
