A few years ago I was in a vintage store and found a floatation cushion with this print.
It probably dates to the 1960s (dig the motorboat!) I was so charmed by the artwork and design. It reminds me of my midwestern childhood, vacations spent near lakes, and the fun I had.

Tonala Tortoise with traditional motifs and patterns. Watercolor on paper. 11” x 8.5” (28cm x 22cm).
Backstory: I was walking in my neighborhood when I noticed what looked like a large rock moving in someone’s yard. It was a tortoise! A very friendly tortoise. It walked right up to the fence and gave me a good look. I was charmed. I had no idea tortoises could be so friendly and charismatic. My tortoise friend inspired this painting.
