A very dear friend spontaneously sent me a wonderful gift in the mail, so I have painted this Desert Box Turtle to send to him in reply. (He's wild about reptiles!)
Terrapene ornata luteola can be commonly found in the New Mexico deserts where my friend makes his home.

I think this artwork looks great, especially the spots.
But I also think that his right arm looks longer.

that turtle looks like a pleasant fella. Perhaps lord Tortuga is his evil twin.
