Rock #13 Turtle

I used the extra paint from Rock #9 to paint the background on this one.  I was thinking of doing a palm beach scene, but Melody suggested I do a turtle.  Since I love turtles, that is what it became.  I looked for turtle ideas on Pinterest and came up with this one.  I absolutlely love the way it turned out.
