Southern Woodland

Those who know the peace of the southern woodlands, know it well. The crisp, earthy sent of longleaf pines and palmettos; fresh deer tracks in dark, sandy soil; the woosh of turkeys coming down from their roost; that first call of the morning birds waking up the forest - a forest that holds hundreds of years of humans sitting in awe just as you are in that moment.  "Southern Woodlands" Motif captures the beauty of these moments. The inland motif features a white tail deer, wood ducks, turkey feathers, alligators, box turtle shells, magnolia petals, chanterelle mushrooms, dogwood petals, pine branches, arrowheads and Spanish moss.  Original:  Original 3 ft x 4 ft watercolor and gouache painting on watercolor paper, held in a private family collection on Lake Iamonia, Florida.  Unframed Prints:  Fine art prints are printed professionally and locally in St. Petersburg, Florida, printed on Cold Press Bright White (21 mil, 340gsm), acid free, 100% cotton rag paper with a bright white, text
