Two very colorful works that're available, made by Geng & Jok aka Aphisan; both done on canvas in oil paint, lots of great prismatic vibrations emanating off of these two; msg me if interested in either, they're available & affordable 🌈

a painting of a woman in a bright colored kimono, lots of pink and blue and green and red, she is covering the lower half of her face with a pink and green fan, her eyes low, looking downward, a white background, splayyer and drip effects coming off of her
a painting of two sea turtles swimming in a coral garden, lots of flowering aquatic plants and other fish swimming around them, a really magical looking scene

CLAN ANIMALS ON THE TURTLE'S BACK Wayne Skye (1949-), Six Nations Reserve, Ontario, Wolf clan, Cayuga, 1996 The nine clan animals of the Cayuga nation stand on the back of the great turtle. Clockwise from the turtle's head, they are hawk, snipe, wolf, beaver, turtle, eel, deer, heron, and bear (center). The turtle plays a major part in the Iroquois story of the Earth's origin. Long ago, according to the story, Sky Woman fell through a hole in the sky, down toward the vast waters below. The birds flew and caught her on their wings, but there was no place below for her to land. The turtle offered to support a world on his back, and Muskrat succeeded in bringing from the bottom of the sea some mud that he placed on the turtle's back. When Sky Woman landed, the Earth was ready for her on the back of the Great Turtle. Moose antler (Alces alces), steel, adhesive 36182-1”

#throwbackthursday to my birthday hike in 2022. I stopped and took a short nap beside a lake off the trail (as one does). When I woke up there was something large and wet in my arms. I slowly backed up, and there he was - I had been spooning a snapping turtle! I spent a while at that lake, hanging out with my new friend while he swam in circles near the shore. I’ve always wondered what on earth compelled him to curl up in my arms like that.

A common snapping turtle climbing out of the water on the side of a lake. This guy was huge, about a foot and a half long, with big claws. He's covered in a layer of mud and dirt.
