Description
Three lizards hide among the scaley worn boots, the remains of palm fronds, on this worn cabbage palm. The setting sun casts a warm glow.
I saw this tree at the visitors center at the Merritt Island wildlife refuge in Florida. It is along the Atlantic coast. It surrounds the Kennedy Space Center.
I had been walking along the nearby boardwalks. As I was leaving, I noticed the sun light glowing on this beat up old scrub palm. I was mesmerized by the colors. It glowed against the turquoise background. There was a large pond behind it full of all kinds of wildlife, especially alligators and turtles. I noticed that several lizards were hiding on and within the boots.
Boots are the remnants of old lost palm fronds. I painted three lizards in this large painting. It is a 30 by 40 inch heavy duty gallery wrapped canvas. I used acrylic paints.
I liked the lacy weeds surrounding the old palm. The fallen leaves from surrounding oak trees were scattered around it. Some of the leaves had gotten stuck among the boots. I thought it beautiful that what so many people had walked by had probably never been properly appreciated. I wanted to honor it.

It took me a minute to admire your work before I found the Lizard - the color and lighting, though!!! Well done!
AnnaJo Vahle replied:
Thank you Rose. I hid three of them within the scene. They are difficult to see in the large painting but even more in the small image.
