Abstract Impasto Sea Turtle Painting

This item is an unframed, brightly colored abstract impasto painting depicting a sea turtle, likely executed with acrylic or oil paints on a smooth, white substrate, possibly paper or board. The artwork showcases a highly textured surface, characteristic of the impasto technique, where paint is applied thickly to create a three-dimensional effect. The sea turtle's form is rendered through a mosaic of distinct, unblended brushstrokes or palette knife applications in a vibrant palette including shades of blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, and red, creating a playful and energetic visual. Each paint blob is clearly distinguishable, contributing to the overall abstract quality while still maintaining the recognizable silhouette of an ocean turtle. The turtle is oriented swimming left, with its head and flippers clearly delineated by blocks of color. The background is left stark white, providing strong contrast and allowing the colorful creature to be the sole focal point. In the bottom right corner, a handwritten signature 'Donna' is visible in a dark, possibly black, ink or paint, indicating the artist. The overall condition appears excellent, with no visible smudges, tears, or significant wear; the colors remain vivid. The piece seems to be a contemporary work, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century, given its vibrant, modern artistic style and clean lines. The craftsmanship reflects a deliberate and expressive approach, emphasizing color and texture over realistic detail, typical of modern decorative art.
