Painted turtles drawing & photos: First Friday Art

Today I’m sharing a pen and ink drawing I did of a painted turtle. I have fond memories of them as a child, when I kept painted turtles as pets.

I’m also sharing a couple photos of them I took in Custer State Park in South Dakota. When we made a quick stop to walk the dogs, I was surprised to see this “island” near the road.

When I took a closer look, I discovered the island was covered with painted turtles, taking a break in the warm sun. Cool! 🙂

Do you have artwork you would like to share? Be sure to include the First Friday Art tag.
