A cute drawing with wonderful vibrant colors! Your attention to detail is a pleasure to look at and the critters are adorable, especially the turtle with his angry expression. A fun creation, thanks for sharing!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.


Mark,
A beautiful picture of the Turtle, in conversation with the Lobster, Cat fish & Bull frog at the water's edge in the hope they maybe able to avoid ending up as in the Pot of Boiling Water as Gumbo. Created by your artist's eye & vivid imagination for composition very skilful draftsmanship, beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bringing the scene to life.
Susan

Cute! The animals are well drawn as cartoons. This is a meeting that is SNAP instead of STAT, assuming it's a snapping turtle and the crabs claws snapping. I like the clueless, chubby frog in the pond.

Oh boy, that looks like a dangerous situation. Nobo0dy wants to be boiled in a Gumbo. The Lobster seem to have lost already a pincer. No wonder that the animals are in panic and the turtle yells at them. The cartoon is expertly drawn. The colors are attractive and realistic. The framing is sufficient. The composition is balanced.

    No he is average size..they grow big ..rice farmers gets a double crop..when they drain rice and harvest that..they also pull out all the big crawdads..except for the one with babies.. season starts in September and ends In April. Gallons and gallons a crawfish be. Cooking out in the bayou..wink

    Interesting. I have never seen or eat crawfish, but their popularity tells me that they must be delicious. :o)

    yes they are..they have a shrimp texture but i different..my people(cajun) use obay season when boiling (cayanne and red pepper with other seasons) also we have many many dishes that surrounds, crawfish, catfish, tutrles and bullfrogs as well as gators. im getting hungry talking about this..yum yum..all i need is some hushpuppies to boot!

I would not be surprised if this type of thing happened in the animal world, I love the humour presented here, but dont dwell on it or I might go off shellfish.

Excellent presentation. Dramatic strong colours beg attention and work so well.

Compliments on your attention to even the smallest detail. A good start to 2021

This is definitely not what you'd expect to see in an animal art contest! LOL I absolutely love the humor you brought to the unsuspecting reviewer. You have a way of always brightening our day when humor is involved. Your dialogue just adds to the image when we get to see what the "emergency meeting" is all about. What a great way to start of the year! Thanks for the wonderful smile this left behind and Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy
