Migrating Sea Turtles - A painting, and a partnership worth writing about
The Journey of Migrating Sea Turtles
This unforgettable experience was made possible through an amazing collaboration with Madda Fella Boutique and Ocean Key Resort & Spa. Their support brought this live painting event to life, creating a unique fusion of art, ocean vibes, and tropical style. Working with Madda Fella, a brand known for its island-inspired apparel, felt like the perfect match—it’s all about capturing that laid-back, adventurous spirit!
Picture this: a perfect Key West day, the ocean breeze in the air, and a giant blank canvas waiting to come to life. Boat race week was buzzing, and right in the middle of it, I was painting sea turtles, live, for everyone to see. With each brushstroke, the scene started to take shape—warm, golden light filtering through the water, graceful turtles gliding through the deep blue. And the craziest part? This entire 40 x 60 masterpiece came together in just three days!
Crowds stopped by to watch, ask questions, and snap photos as the painting evolved throughout the day. The energy was electric! I started with a bold, rusty brown background—nothing fancy, just a foundation waiting for magic. Then came the layers, the depth, and the movement. Each turtle needed to feel like it was truly swimming, floating effortlessly through the current.
After the live painting, I brought the piece back to the studio for those all-important finishing touches. This is where the real fun begins—adjusting the light, bringing out hidden details, and making sure every element flows together. The turtles needed to shimmer, the light needed to dance, and the whole painting had to feel alive.
And just like that—boom! Migrating Sea Turtles was SOLD before the last brushstroke dried. It happens all the time, which is why I always tell people—if you love something, grab it before it’s gone!
But don’t worry, textured, embellished giclée prints are available, so everyone can have a piece of this ocean magic. These high-quality, hand painted, sea turtle art prints on canvas capture the essence of marine life, ocean conservation, and the beauty of coastal décor.
