“Loggerhead Sea Journey” from the Marine Life Collection of Nancy Tilles
Nicholas, Mike, and Shanthi giving some perspective to the actual size
This absolutely stunning triptych canvas giclee print is of Nancy Tille’s “Loggerhead Journey” and breaks our ruler at an amazing 17 feet long! Her original work is oil on canvas, measures 108″ long by 48″ high, and has some of the richest, most vibrant colors we have ever seen. This piece has captured our hearts and minds with her impressive attention to the finest of details and her mastery of depth and perspective has fooled us more than once into trying to reach into the canvas and become a part of this undersea world. Like Nancy, we hope one day the majestic Loggerhead Turtle will no longer be endangered and these ocean treasures will populate the seas in great numbers once more.
