Skyway Byway
This watercolor painting depicts the Skyway bridge that connects Saint Petersburg to Bradenton Florida. The road runs from urban environment to wetland to sea grass, all the way to ocean and then back. There are places to pull off the highway and enjoy which ever spot you prefer. People come here to fish. People come here to play in the water. Some people come here to watch the fury of the weather.
The mangroves are marching out to protect the roadway from erosion. They bring with them protection for small fish, birds and mosquitoes. This is a favorite road of mine to drive.
This original painting is a watercolor painting measuring 11 by 14 inches. It is painted on 140 pound cold pressed paper. For information on purchasing this painting,Contact jim@florida-art-galleries.com More of Watkins work |
