This is Kroten, but is having a dream since she is not a sea-turtle in real life. In real life Kroten is a 3 year old Morph Red Ear Slider, but here, in a dream, she is a sea-turtle.
Kroten also has a blog that she shares with Kame, who is also a turtle, but not a sea turtle.
About this artwork: Watercolors and ink on 140 lb coldpress watercolor paper. Created for Kroten, who has patiently waited.

thanks for the link.
I have a year old snapper and 10+ year old red slider
I think they dream of being sea turtles too!
Debbie Adams
/ September 18, 2011We all want to go for a deep sea swim now and then, even it in our dreams. lol
Kame and Kroten would love a visit from you.
I’m glad you like it, thanks for saying so, my hero!

/ September 18, 2011I like the almost electric colors you used for Kroten. Very nice. I’m sure Kroten will love it, though Kame may be a bit envious!
Debbie Adams
/ September 19, 2011This is true, but there has already been artwork done of Kame by someone else. So I thought I would even the score. 😉
Glad you like the colors, hope Kroten likes it too….Where is she anyway? She’s the star of this show.
Thanks for commenting, Binky!

Novroz
/ September 19, 2011I am so excited I forgot to say thank you….thank you thank you thank you 🙂 xoxo
Debbie Adams
/ September 19, 2011I’m so glad you like it. I certainly hope Kroten likes it too. She deserves a picture of her, or about, so to speak.
Btw: I fixed that little error all through post and comments. Just between us. 😉
I can’t hardly wait till Kroten sees it. I hope she likes it.

Debbie Adams
/ September 19, 2011Aw, well you are so very welcome, Novroz!!
I couldn’t bear the thought of there not being artwork of Kroten too. She is my little niece. 🙂

Kroten
/ September 19, 2011Aunt Debbie…thank you so much, danke, arigatou xoxo
This is a nice surprise…I look beautiful in my dream. Being yellow sea turtle would be awesome.
Debbie Adams
/ September 19, 2011Aw, Kroten, I am so glad you like yourself in a dream. When I decided to paint you I wanted it to be special and unique just for you. Drawings and paintings as yourself can come easy, but in a dream makes is special…at least I think so.
Be a good girl now, Kroten.
Much love,
Aunt Debbie xx
George
/ September 19, 2011You’ve expressed the feeling of being underwater wonderfully, Deb. Nice!
Debbie Adams
/ September 19, 2011Thanks George, I had a few ideas how to take that approach. You’ve made me glad I choose this one.
Thanks for commenting, George!

MC/Curtis
/ September 19, 2011Great! I like the enhanced shell. I also like the neck almost straining and the way it’s like Kroten is really getting into the swim. Nice background too. Could be the ocean depths or corals or could be near the shore.
Debbie Adams
/ September 19, 2011It sound like you like this one a bit, Curtis. I’m glad. Kroten seemed to like it too
Thanks for commenting, Curtis!

/ September 19, 2011Very nicely done, Ms. A…

🙂
Debbie Adams
/ September 19, 2011That’s a good thing, or Kroten with fins would look out of place. lol
Thank you..and thank you for commenting, Bob!

/ September 19, 2011This is an interesting concept, a Spider dreaming of being a Sea Turtle, now how about that for being an inventive Artist? I like it… I also like your painting Deb, as your first commenter mentioned, this one is very colourful 🙂
Have a lovely rest of afternoon now Deb 🙂

/ September 20, 2011OMG I just love it!!!! Love the beautiful colors you used and just so you know… since I discovered your blog, I come very often to see all your amazing drawings and paintings!
Debbie Adams
/ September 20, 2011You should say something while visiting these pages. I love it when you visit!
I’m glad you like the painting, and thank you for commenting!

/ September 20, 2011Yes, I’ll do! I love it too. Plus, I love the idea of sharing thoughts, stories, paintings, drawings, etc. with people from all around the world. But let’s face it, speaking English is necessary to do so.
Debbie Adams
/ September 21, 2011If you want to comment on someone’s non English speaking blog you can do so with the help of Google translate. Here is their link
http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=&ie=UTF-8&text=Thank+you&sl=en&tl=es#en|de|Thank%20you
If I’m not sure what language they are speaking I take a phase that they wrote and test it in different languages till I got it. Only take a few seconds or so.

Hjortur Hjartarson
/ September 26, 2011Nice one!
I used to have four turtles. I named them Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello 😳
Debbie Adams
/ September 26, 2011Those are wonderful name for turtles, being that they have so much design and color on them!
I’m glad you like the painting. I had fun painting it.
Thank you for commenting, Hjortur!
