Invasive Species

The signs I read along the nature trail leading to Anclote Key Lighthouse impressed me almost as much as the lighthouse. They warned that Florida’s natural habitat was being endangered by invasive erotics. These erotics threaten the vibrant ecosystem that supports some of Florida’s great wildlife, such as manatees, sea turtles and shore birds. This inspired me to use green in the painting to symbolize Florida’s lush endangered habitat. The palm trees woo and bid  the lighthouse. to join them in their struggle for survival.
