Original Green Sea Turtle Illustration | Framed Pen, Ink & Watercolor Art by Gene Irvin (1934–2026) | 12×15" Ready to Hang

There's something ancient and unhurried about the Green Sea Turtle — a creature whose lineage stretches back to the age of the dinosaurs, gliding through the ocean with a calm that feels almost prehistoric. Arizona wildlife artist Gene Irvin captured that quality with loose, gestural ink line work and soft blue and green watercolor washes: a portrait that feels as fluid and alive as the animal itself.

This is not a print. This is the original, one-of-a-kind artwork — drawn and painted by hand, signed by the artist, and ready to hang.

About the Green Sea Turtle:
Chelonia mydas is the largest hard-shelled sea turtle on Earth, weighing up to 350 pounds. Unique among sea turtles for its herbivorous diet of seagrass and algae — the source of the greenish body fat that gives the species its name — it is currently listed as endangered, facing threats from habitat loss, pollution, and illegal hunting. Owning this artwork is a quiet tribute to one of the ocean's most remarkable survivors.
