Sunrise Tree Everglades


Matted watercolor, 16" x 20". As much as Mom loved traveling to Europe, part of her heart always stayed in Florida. Though she never got her retirement apartment overlooking the Atlantic, we were able to travel there regularly through the years. Cutting from one coast to the other meant a drive over Alligator Alley ... one very early ride inspired this picture.
