A manatee floats in shallow water, half-submerged with its massive body rendered in soft grays and blacks against pale sandy ground and luminous turquoise water. Palm trees and wetland vegetation line the distant shore in gentle greens and blues, while the artist's watercolor technique captures both the animal's weight and the water's translucent quality with delicate, layered washes. At home in a naturalist's study or a coastal retreat inspired by wildlife and wild places. Gallery-wrapped on a wooden stretcher and made to order, ready to hang straight from the box.
