Little Stalky's Turtle

It's a turtle!

I am by no means an artist.  I find it fascinating watching someone bring a canvas to life and know that I could never achieve the same results.  If I start drawing then everything is out of proportion, upside down, inside out and the wrong way round.  Small children can draw better than I.  But artist or not that didn't stop me from trying my hand at some Aboriginal style art.  I figured if there was anything I might be able to do with a paint brush and a canvas it would be dots.  In preparation for our visitors I wanted to create some art to go in the guest room.  The attached photo is the finished product.  My turtle.  I had no idea what I was doing, I didn't know what it was going to look like but I was actually quite pleased.  What a fluke!  I literally just grabbed the canvas, grabbed the paints and sat on the floor deciding that a turtle would be the easiest shape for me to tackle.  I found an old lid from a bucket that had been turned into a plant pot and used it as a pallet and then off I went.  About an hour later I had my very own piece of Stalky style art.  It now has pride of place in the guest bedroom.  Now I'm wondering what else I can paint.  The plant pots are the front runners at the moment but if Mystical Roo sits still too long he may find himself with a temporary tattoo of the Stalky variety....
