Artist's Description
While walking through Stick Marsh in Central Florida, I heard a lot of chirping. I thought that they might be the sounds of birds. However, when I tracked through the grass, I found this sight. Instead of being a bunch of birds, it was a bunch of little alligators with their mother.
I sat down on the water's edge very quietly. She didn't move a muscle. I watched for several minutes as I saw many little gators scurry through the grasses and into the water. The water was covered with duck weed and grasses. Often, I could only see the little ones because of their little chirps and their movement. Their camouflage was impressive. I am not sure how many I saw, but it must have been at least 30 or 40. I painted 10 of them in this scene. I suggested others among the vegetation.

About AnnaJo Vahle
Although born in upstate New York, I grew up mostly in Nevada and California. The fabulous panoramic views of the far west inspired me to begin painting and photographing it’s beauty.

Alligator looks very cold to me, someone take it a blanket, I've got a medical condition so I'm not allowed to :-). Striking and very interesting :-) Lf
