I was rather hoping that this lovely turtle piece by Lis was going to last a while at the entrance to St Werburghs tunnel, but alas it was painted over after about a week. I was surprised, because it was painted on a bit of wall which has had a rather low turnover in recent years, and it was a fine and rather iconic piece, very much in keeping with the zeitgeist of the area.

I would say, with a touch of bias as a former marine biologist, that this is one of her best pieces to date. The Turtle itself is accurately represented, and the lines pretty clean and decorations tidily done. Lis’ inexorable progress continues apace.

  1. I had a chat with her whilst she was painting this and it was obvious she was really enjoying painting in general and this piece in particular.
    She used black spray cans instead of mulsh to do the background

      1. As is almost always the case she is a lovely person and is more than happy to stop for a chat

        It’s much quicker and cheaper to use a roller and some mulsh to do the background colour . . .
