Artist's Description
This curious big fellow is coming out from under a coral patch where he had been resting. Despite their status as an endangered species, there are relatively common sightings around the coral reefs in Hawaii waters. Honu grow to around 3-4 feet, and weigh up to 300-350 lbs or more.

The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, known as “Honu,” symbolizes good luck, endurance and long life. Turtles can show up as a person's guardian spirit, known as “Aumakua.”
My painting is an acrylic on canvas board.
