Marine Iguanas socializing in the Galapagos

Small Painted Turtle made from digital photo from 1 generation digital camera. It took near 300 hours of editing as I made this at the beginning of my path with image editing, around 2002.

Harbor seal photographed at the Norwalk Aquarium around 2000, and given life in my portfolio in 2016.

This Galapagos Fur Seal was sleeping with its friends on a volcanic island in the Galapagos.

Galapagos Fur Seals are very inquisitive and was within an arm's length with me while I was snorkeling in 2014.

Here is a Galapagos Fur Seal on a volcanic beach, keeping guard as friends are napping. Notice the way I bring out the essence of this animal through the use of texture, that gives the feeling of "hair" even on the rocks!

A small, low resolution digital picture of this lion fish in a small tank at the Norwalk Aquarium was used as the raw material for this interpretive image.

This Galapagos Fur Seal was resting on the beach where we were exploring - watching, but not moving...
