So.. here are two more photos of the POND PERFECT installation in my studio.You can tell the scalr of the painting.
They are big...and together... make an 8 foot wide watercolor~
I also started another large watercolor of two gators in courtship.
It's highly abstacted-- and difficult to see the gators.
The bull gator is coming in from the right-- and approaching the smaller and elongated female.
I actually observed them in the swamp... having courtship. It was fast.. beautiful and very rare!
Did you know that they blow bubbles on themselves.. as part of the romaning??

I really love looking at your work. It's really quite beautiful.
I like the abstractness of the gator painting - and the size of the pond perfect diptych!! WOW! I like seeing the bull gators rising out of the water and then vibrating deep in their chests, making the water ripple - it's an amazing and scary sound!
Wonderful.Works
I never would have thought of gator-mating as a subject for a painting. But you have created a fantastic painting with it!
Thank you maddy rose.... thank you for your post!
