During our visit to Brookgreen Gardens we saw dozens of yellow bellied sliders in all the ponds on the grounds. This little fella was very curious and tame!
While on a recent plein air painting trip to Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina, we were fortunate to view 2 red wolves that were enclosed in a wildlife refuge area. I chose to use a cool palette as the wolf looked so peaceful at rest.
This is a plein air painting done the same morning as the marsh painting. As you enter the park, one side of the road is the pond, the other side is filled with marsh grass.
