Talking about a dream, Clyde Butcher and the Everglades 'gators.

The folks at West Villages in Venice, Florida invited me to submit my Alligator and Ghost Orchid print for "Art in Afternoon" - a community social event celebrating art, story-telling and music. Five artists were invited to submit there painting for consideration - my piece was chosen by two writer/storytellers. 

Here I am talking about the origins of this painting and a dream I had were I imagined I worked for the famous fine art photographer, Clyde Butcher.
