Artist's notes:

florida box turtle thumb The Florida Box Turtle was completed on 12.1.09. I really enjoy drawing turtles and the Florida Box was really a lot of fun to do. The pattern on the shell on these reptiles is truly beautiful. There's a only a few other species and sub-species of box turtles I have left to render. The next will probably be a Desert Box. The illustration is based on a photo by Jake Scott.
