While on a drive in Big Cypress National Preserve in south Florida, we decide to take the long way. On the road, we saw alligators, snakes, fish, and some pretty impressive birds that I've never had the pleasure of seeing before. We spent hours on this road, stopping to look and take photos. My favorite was a White Ibis with pretty pink legs and a long pink beak wading (I assume hunting) through the Cypress trees. I tried to quietly take photos as I watched her long legs navigate dark water and green growth. 

This painting is acrylic on handmade paper. The paper was made by an artist in West Virginia. I love the way the paper absorbs the color! Fibers and texture can be seen in the painting, but mainly around the edge I left unpainted.
