The Everglades, 8x10 Oil on Canvas Panel


The Everglades is a wild and wonderful place, constantly threatened by damage caused by human greed or carelessness. The latest problem is pythons, and they are consuming huge amounts of small game, which leaves large game without food. A recent python hunt got rid of some of them, but they reproduce in large numbers, so this is an ongoing battle. I try to look at the beauty and hope for the best for this important ecosystem.

  1. Dear Carmen,

    Wanted to just grab a minute and tell you that your work is beautiful! I was just floored by the flowers and grapes. The animals were perfect. Your beach scenes awesome. I am a wanna be painter - played in them for years and am having a very hard time finding any talent whatsoever - trust me, I've looked for it! But I love to paint and have fun but thank you Jesus!, I don't have to make a living at it. Your work is from pure talent and putting it into use. Congratulations on your success and in making such beauty come to life. (I'm just a lady looking at pictures and just thought well, maybe, you would like to hear how much people think of your work. God's Blessings, Lora
