Unlikely Companions

36"x48” original painting of Unlikely Companions

In this piece, the alligator becomes part of the landscape- camouflaged within layers of lily pads and soft swamp foliage, nearly disappearing into the water around it.

To contrast that strength and texture, I introduced pink lotus flowers and Chinese magnolias throughout the composition. Their softness offers a gentle balance against the alligator’s rugged, sculptural surface.

Perched quietly along its tail, an egret takes a free ride through the still water- an unexpected pairing tucked into the scene. A small cameo within the camouflage, and a quiet moment of coexistence.

Built up with thick palette knife texture, the surface carries movement while the softened palette keeps the piece calm and easy to live with.
