Tribute piece of Zillo, my lil sulcata tortoise, who sadly passed away earlier this week. Creating this piece was healing, a testament to art as therapy. I took a few creative licenses with cartoonizing the face a bit, with rounder eyes and an extra large sweet smile 🙂

I had so much fun painting this wooden box. As a base, I transferred my digital design onto the surface, did some ink retouching, then drew some golden leaves freehand to complete the space. A few layers of gold and bronze paint were added to the edges, while blue painters tape was used while the black border was formed. As a finishing touch, a few layers of spray sealant was applied. This tribal turtle wooden box was donated to the HACNS Community School Art Fundraiser last week, where it’ll go to a good home 🙂

Tribal Turtle with Leaves Art by Sherrie Thai of ShaireProductions

With the warmer weather, I’ve been dreaming of tropical locales, and what better way to celebrate the spring than with a new piece of art 🙂 It’s entitled “Tribal Turtles with Leaves” and was originally created with pen and textured papers. The 5×7 print is available at my ETSY SHOP. Feel free to inquire about other sizes.

Tribal Turtles Pendant

Tribal Turtles is inspired by the tribal art of Hawaii, Polynesia and Borneo. The background pattern is a freeform organic piece, suggesting swirls of water. The top piece is a mixed media artwork. It was initially created by hand, then digitally colored and slightly texturized with one of my abstract photos.
