ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

As a South Florida resident I am very aware of the dangers to our manatee population. These gentle giants are constantly threatened by cold water temperatures as well as boat propellers.

I love painting wildlife, especially underwater scenes that challenge me to capture a sense of depth and light. This is my second entry with the mama and baby manatee theme. Last year my first entry did very well and I decided to paint another version with more color.
