Acrylic on stretched canvas
61 x 60.5 x 3.5cm

I had the privilege of growing up in Cairns with my grandmother and mother. The stunning colours of the Great Barrier Reef have always captivated me. There was nothing like the joy of spotting a turtle in the crystal-clear waters. This painting encapsulates a heart warming moment on a sunny day, showing two mother turtles guiding their little ones to embrace the ocean and enjoy it on a sunny day.     

Exhibited in 'Exhibition Ready' exhibition @ UMI Arts Gallery, September 2024 - November 2024.
