It’s early evening, crescent moon and stars in the sky. Dogwoods bloom along with all those other things. Wood ducks enjoy the peace. The lady of the house has received something interesting in the mail. Her faithful companion awaits her in another room, curious about the letter, knowing she’ll confide. Outside the garden and marsh are busy. An impressive snapper, new life.
This is my latest acrylic painting. I enjoyed this one. I wanted to do a night scene and I wanted to feature the big snapper that comes up to my yard every year to lay her eggs. I’ve never seen any of the eggs hatching nor have I ever seen any of the hatchlings. But if there have been some baby turtles I’m sure they’d make for the marsh and this is what they’d look like. I hadn’t planned such a detailed reflection in the marsh of the house and it’s inhabitants and although I found it tricky to do I’m pleased with the result.
