Turtle — Fine Art

Turtle - 1977 by Ronnie Landfield shows a soft field of colour with broad painted bands set over it. The bands shift in tone from one side to the other, and the turtle shape rests quietly inside that painted ground. You see the colour move slowly across the sheet.

This fine art print hangs on a wall where the light stays steady, so the tones stay even and the painted bands read clearly. A wood frame beside wooden furniture ties the surface to the room without drawing the eye away from the picture.

On a study wall near a desk you notice the turtle shape first, then the slow change of tone as you sit at the desk. From the doorway the broad bands settle into the wall and the room feels steady.
