In person it's really cool looking. Gold washes in the sky and turtle catch the light differently depending on where you stand. Turtle has gold leaf details. The foreground boulders have dimension created with modeling paste. The sandy desert floor took about 15 layers of paint and glitter to create. All of that stuff is hard to photograph...at least for me, being not much of a photographer.</p> Wed, 04 Jul 2012 06:28:46 -0700 2010-07-01T02:12:19-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (sparklerama) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/7500945362 Tortoise Progress 001 <p>Current painting in progress. currently working on the turtle and then just a few details to touch up and then on to the next painting.<br /> <br /> This is a hard one to photograph.
