ARTWORK DESCRIPTION: 

Describing his artwork “New Beginnings” Jonathan says: “It’s incredible how instinct and moonlight drive the newly born turtles to the water. I was trying ways to make the water look real and adding real sand into the mix too. The resin can be very effective but can also be very unpredictable to work with. It’s really difficult to paint on sand too, certainly to any degree of detail.”
