Florida Postcard

I had a wonderful holiday in Florida many years ago on a lovely little island in the Gulf of Mexico and remember coming face to face with a sting ray, which scared the life out of me! My State Scape of Florida therefore contains lots of marine life as well as people splashing about in the surf, whether they're paddle boarding, snorkelling or just playing ball. I love the Key West Lighthouse that marks the end of the Florida Keys as well as the one that points the way to Florida, up in Pensacola. My drawing of Florida is full of wildlife as indeed the natural beauty of this peninsula is its true glory and something to be treasured for our future. Man-made cities appear like toy towns in my State Scape and as such have a feeling of being a temporary intrusion on this wild and wet land.
