Both saying, "Nope, I don't believe we're as closely related as they say!" Spotted sandpiper and a painted turtle, sharing a basking platform.

A muck-covered turtle looks at me indignantly.

Perhaps I'm blocking the sun, ruining its sunbathing.

the weather is finally warming up in maine and on every nature walk I go on I see at least a dozen turtles basking in the sun :,) may's patreon snail mail is most certainly going to be turtle themed.

but the issue is I love every turtle that I've drawn so far... so it's been hard choosing a composition for the postcard...!! I'm leaning towards focusing on the bottom left painted turtle illustration :) what do you think?
