Sea turtles are widely considered among the most beautiful animals of the sea. Yet, in the last century many sea turtle species have been on the brink of extinction. In his classic watercolor, "Friendly Sea Turtle," Wyland pays homage to the plight of these ancient creatures by showing a solitary sea turtle in gliding gently through its undersea realm. "I've spent years studying these animals," Wyland says. "This painting gives people a chance to experience what I feel when I see a sea turtle safe and thriving. Not only are they fascinating subjects for my paintings, they are also among the most important indicators of the health of the world's marine and coastal ecosystems. Their future - and ours - are inextricably linked."
