"Monsters of the Mangroves" - Tarpon - SOLD 2017 Virginia Migratory Waterfowl Conservation Stamp The last glow of sun

The last glow of sun peeks through to warm the landscape as the cows graze near the barn

It all happens in about one hour

A big Tarpon cruising the Mangrove roots has his sights on a bite sized treat and makes a dash

The simplicity of the composition as well as the rich colors drew me to paint this charming little corner of the Shenandoah Valley
