This large watercolor is from the Everglades Series I have been working on. The pond scape format of slow moving water is indiciative of the wonderful imagery I am trying to portray to convey that complex ecological region.
The Everglades is prinicipally a slow moving "river of grass".... for miles and miles.
The million acre park is a pristine wilderness-- sheltering many animals, birds, and plants.
Over the coming months-- I hope to pursue a complete exhibtion of this national park.

Carol, this is gorgeous and I love the hint of mystery in the browns there - could be fish, gators, or...who knows? And your latest art show of the portraits of your son is a true feast for my eyes!! You rock, girl and you always will :)

Thank you Diana! I wanted this painting to be less specific in terms of imagery than most. It borders on abstraction. There is a simplicity to the components of this piece. Thank you for your post! Always wonderful to hear from you.
So beautiful, great start to a series on this subject, can't wait to see more.
Thank you Susan... there will be more Everglades paintings soon!
