I was very privileged to see many turtles while on holiday in the Maldives in 1997. This
green turtle was munching coral and I was only a couple of feet away from him; he
looked at me over his shoulder with quite an indignant expression, and then continued
eating! I watched him for about 10 minutes before he gracefully disappeared further
down the reef. Watching turtles, many different types of shark and hundreds of
incredible fish in all shapes and colours amongst spectacular coral gardens in their
own environment was a huge source of inspiration, the memories of which will stay
with me forever. This Mezzotint is a combination from drawings I made at The Natural
History Museum in London, and photographs I took underwater.
