I googled symbolism of the turtle and this was off one site:....<br />(reading this the painting makes sense and I think points to Bolles' deep understanding of symbolism)<br /><br />"The Turtle is an Ancient Symbol, Representing Order, Creation, Endurance, Strength, Stability, Longevity, Fertility, and a Gentle Innocence. The Turtle also Offers Protection, Good Fortune , and Can Bring Forth Happiness and Good Omens. <br /><br />One of four Chinese sacred animals (among The Dragon, The Phoenix, and The Unicorn), the mythical Turtle is a creature of two elements; land and sea, as such the Turtle reflects an ability to adapt and flourish in any environment.<br /><br />In Asian myth the Turtle represents universal order and is thought to have created the universe from it's body: It's shell is symbolic of the heavens, it's body, symbolic of the earth and it's undershell represents the underworld.

I started a blog recently to post some of the pin up style illustration I've been doing.<br />Originals, copies and pastiches mostly. Many using Bolles as a source. Have a look if you are interested. And keep up the terrific job you are doing! <br />GWR PinupsGWR Pinupshttp://gwrpinups.tumbler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701969497419397329.post-50615814058407320352011-05-24T19:27:36.108-07:002011-05-24T19:27:36.108-07:00Perhaps he had this appetizing combination in mind...Perhaps he had this appetizing combination in mind for her :)<br />I just can't wrap my head around how he talked some narrow minded art editor into approving it.Jack Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003755708951409832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701969497419397329.post-47570882457834049262011-05-24T19:23:23.718-07:002011-05-24T19:23:23.718-07:00Woe unto you if my girlfriend, who is a fan both o...Woe unto you if my girlfriend, who is a fan both of Bolles' pin-up and of sea turtles, should learn of your questioning this composition!Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.com
