Description
A Sea Turtle Rising from the depths of the ocean for a breath of fresh air.
"Sea turtles are air breathing reptiles, they need to surface to breathe. Sea turtles can hold their breath for several hours, depending upon the level of activity. A resting or sleeping turtle can remain underwater for 4-7 hours. Recent research has shown that some turtles can even hibernate in the sea for several months! However, a stressed turtle, entangled in fishing gear for instance, quickly uses up oxygen stored within its body and may drown within minutes."
The original oil on canvas painting will be exhibited at the Barrier Island Sanctuary in Melbourne, Fl. It will be sold at the Tour de Turtles event at the ending of July, 2018. All proceeds from the sale of this piece will benefit sea turtle conservation. Prints sold on FAA will also benefit this great effort.
