Florida Swamp Animals

These are some preparatory watercolors I have done for some murals to go on 1st grade classrooms. These images will be printed on dimensional PVC and attached to the walls of the classrooms. My colleague and I will paint backgrounds directly on the walls of the classroom that these will go on. I anticipate putting some bluegills, turtles and trees to go with these animals. That's the plan anyway.

Alligators

Screenprint and oil on paper. I love alligators and I miss them very much now that I live in PA. I guess I always took them for granted in Florida; my wife and I still catch ourselves scanning drainage ditches and small ponds for gators. I also miss the spring when the baby lizards hatch and run across the sidewalk as you walk past them!
