Bog Turtle
Date: 2002
Size: 15.5in x 21in
Material: Oil on canvas
This secretive, little turtle spends most of its time buried in mud. It is the smallest North American turtle, measuring about four inches when adult. Urban development throughout the Bog Turtle’s range has destroyed much of its habitat.

Chelodina expansa
Date: 2005
Chelodina expansa is commonly known by several names: the Broad-shelled Turtle, Broad-shelled River Turtle, Broad-shelled Snake-necked Turtle, or Giant Snake-necked Turtle. This freshwater turtle lives in eastern and southeastern Australia, mainly in the Murray and Darling river basins. The background in this painting was inspired by superb photographs taken by Australian turtle expert and herpetologist John Cann. John added a few touches of paint to the canvas, during its completion, at one of the NARBC shows.

Wood Turtle
Date: 2005
Size: 20in x 30 in
Material: Oil on Canvas
The wood turtle is probably my favorite turtle. I included some flowering Lesser Celandine, an invasive plant in Michigan, that I had noticed on my numerous canoe trips to look for wood turtles. It is a plant that I know well and is a common riverside plant native to the United Kingdom.

Radiated Tortoises
Date: 2006
Size: 36in x 60in
Material: Oil on canvas
I based the individuals in this painting on the most beautifully marked tortoise shell that I’ve ever seen (a specimen confiscated in Madagascar). The print represents just one section of a much larger painting, (above) which depicted a couple of key Madagascan habitats and several different species.

The unique Matamata turtle of South America is an obvious subject for a herpetological artist. This piece was commissioned by my friend and fellow artist, Russ Gurley. Also depicted are a freshwater Angelfish and Cardinal Tetras.

Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea)
Date: 2007
Size: 47in x 35.5in
Material: Oil on canvas
The largest of all the sea turtles, Leatherback Turtles feed mainly on jellyfish and other soft-bodied marine animals. They have the widest distribution of any turtle. I struggled to find good photographic references to help me accurately paint the soft, backward-pointing, spines that line the turtle’s mouth and throat, and assist in retaining their gelatinous prey. Luckily, at the 27th Sea Turtle Symposium held in Myrtle Beach (2007), I had most of the world’s Leatherback Turtle experts at hand to give me some guidance. Thanks everyone!

Yangtze Giant Softshell Turtle (Rafetus swinhoei)
Date: 2008
Size: 19.7in x 27.5in
Material: Oil on canvas
This is the rarest species of turtle in the world. Due to habitat loss, pollution and over harvesting for the Asian food market, there are only a couple of known individuals left in the world today. I painted this for the Turtle Survival Alliance to help them raise awareness, support and money to try and save this beautiful turtle. Signed and numbered prints of this painting accompanied a limited edition of 100 of Peter Pritchard’s book, Rafetus: The Curve of Extinction (The Story of the Giant Softshell Turtle of the Yangtze and Red Rivers), published by my friend, Russ Gurley, in 2012.

Burmese Roofed Turtle
Date: 2009
Size: 19.7in x 27.5in
Material: Oil on canvas
This was a commission by the Turtle Survival Alliance to be used as a fundraiser. No paper prints were created and only 11 giclees were printed, and all were sold for charity, other than one that was retained by Bob Ashley for the Chiricahua Desert Museum collection. Hopefully, sales helped bring awareness and funds for their conservation work in Asia.

Spotted Turtle (unfinished version)
Date: 2011
Size: 16in x 12in
Material: Oil on canvas
The Spotted Turtle (Clemmys guttata) painting was undertaken in front of an audience during a large conference on turtles in California. To enhance the painting and the setting for the turtle, Tell added a rare butterfly, Mitchell’s Satyr, and a pitcher plant. All three species are found in Michigan, where their ranges overlap. Even though someone offered to buy the painting in its unfinished form, Tell took the painting back to Michigan, where he completed the background.
