					<description><![CDATA[The background in this painting, of a Broad-shelled Turtle, was inspired by the superb photographs by Australian Turtle expert and herpetologist John Cann. John added a few touches of paint to the canvas, during its completion, at one of the NARBC shows.

					<description><![CDATA[I based the individuals, in this painting, on the most beautifully marked tortoise shell that I’ve ever seen (a specimen confiscated in Madagascar). The print represents just one section of a much larger painting, which depicted a couple of key Madagascan habitats and several different species.

					<description><![CDATA[The largest of all the sea turtles, Leatherback Turtles feed mainly on jellyfish and other soft-bodied marines animals. They have the widest distribution of any turtle. I struggled to find good photographic references to help me correctly paint the soft, backward-pointing, spines that line the turtle’s mouth and throat, and assist in retaining their gelatinous prey. Luckily, at the 27th Sea Turtle Symposium, in Myrtle Beach, I had most of the world’s Leatherback Turtle experts at hand to give me some guidance. Thanks everyone!

					<description><![CDATA[Probably my favourite turtle. I included some flowering Lesser Celandine, in this painting, an invasive plant in Michigan, that I had noticed on my numerous canoe trips to look for Wood Turtles. It is a plant that I know well and is a common riverside plant native to the UK.
