FLORIDA PRIMEVAL

Florida Primeval, 10.5 x 13.5 inch ink and watercolor painting by George C. Clark    AVAILABLE
I found this customer at the Everglades Alligator Farm just outside the Everglades National Park.  I saw plenty of wild alligators and even a couple of crocodiles too, but they were all in the water and mostly moving too fast to photograph, let alone draw.

AUDUBON HOUSE, KEY WEST

Audubon House, Key West, 8 x 8.5 inch ink, watercolor and colored pencil by George C. Clark   AVAILABLE

This is called the Audubon House because John James Aududon spent several weeks painting in the garden here in 1832 when he was working on his Birds of North America project.  The house here now was built about 20 years after Audubon's visit and is open to the public as a museum of Key West life in the mid-19th century.
