This Acrylic Painting:
This original Florida art - on stretched canvas - was completed in late March, 2008, and was signed by this artist, R.Geddings. This painting has a double application of professional-grade Acrylic Polymer Varnish for protection and to bring out the deep sheen of the colors ! Having established himself as an artist of note with his paintings in OIL for many years, this particular "Geddings Original" painting represents Riley's FOURTH in the series of his recent debut into the world of acrylics. Riley specializes in Florida scenes - especially the Florida Everglades - and has chosen yet another typical Everglades scene as he continues his journey venturing into the world of acrylic painting.

This vibrant painting depicts another quiet, tranquil area of The Florida Everglades wilderness where the footsteps of mankind rarely appear with those of Florida's wildlife - a veritable oasis indeed. The artist has once more captured on canvas an authentic Florida scene of a day just now beginning ... when the sky still has a few clouds as a reminder of the midnight showers ... when the sun has recently appeared in the heavens ... when Florida's wildlife start their daily search for food ... all captured on canvas in a magnificent portrayal of the beauty of God's creation !

Immediately, one notices the Great White Heron just about to grab an unsuspecting fish swimming by in the shallows, whilst overhead can be seen the hallmark of this artist's talented artwork - not one, but two seagulls hovering and hoping. The marsh grasses surrounding this oasis of water lead one to the hammock so typical in The Everglades, where the lush Florida foliage supports the tall, majestic Cabbage Palms.

The two large Cabbage Palms on stage right sway gently in the early morning breeze in the midst of the Florida Palmetto thicket below - seemingly standing guard over the entranceway of this quiet oasis. In the waters below, one can see a partly submerged branch from a fallen Cypress Tree.

The colors you see on your computer screen do not do justice to those in the actual acrylic painting which are really gorgeous - so vibrantly beautiful they seem to come alive ! This signed and certified original painting will not only be a valuable addition to your collection of Florida art, but a good investment also.
