 I'm trying to "talk about" the death of the turtle (shell) and the tree (leaves), but the acorn bringing new life and the turtle guts fertilizing the new life of the tree.

Yeah... I know... *rolleyes*

*sigh*

I hate trying to be "deep". I'm so used to being "shallow".

It's what I'm good at. *rolleyes again*

ooh some bling! Your title makes me think that I'm about to listen to a reading of a fable or fairytale. Love the symbolism.

I like the picture, but I'm missing the message/symbol.

Lovely textures....diagonals, colors, imagery, natural splendors....have you read any of the turtle/tree myths about the creation of the world or why a turtle has patterns on it's shell? My favorite still life in the contest. 10.

meaning, slow and steady really wins the race? I like it; I like the sepia quality naturally present, great job, good luck.

This is art. Magnificent vision, deliriously delicious tones and textures. This should be 10 ft wide and on the wall. And if it has meaning beyond its beauty, it's a bonus.
