I love this mural. Sea Turtles are very special. They are endangered species with such gentle souls. I love learning about them and watching them swim. They are so graceful and serene. I designed this Sea Turtle mural in a paint by number fashion with no numbers, just colors. Participants filled in areas with acrylic paint. People of all ages, from toddlers to adults were excited to be a part of this large scale painting. People tend loose their inhibitions and become part of a larger project with others. It is a great joy to see this. This awesome mural was created at the South Side Works with support from National City Bank and the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.

3′ X 9′ acrylic on gallery canvas. See the work in progress.

Children working on the mural. It was great!
