Description
Sarasota County, Florida, has worked diligently to preserve swaths of old Florida nature along the Myakka River. Jelks Preserve is a 614-acre natural preserve with 8 miles of trail along the Myakka River in southern Sarasota County, Florida. The land was purchased in 1999 via the one percent county sales tax and a donation from the Jelks Family Foundation (namesake for the preserve). The habitat is riverine floodplain and includes live oak with epiphytes as well as Carolina jessamine and coralbean wildflowers. Wildlife include gopher tortoises, swallowtail butterflies, swallow-tailed kites, and song birds. One loop hiking trail winds over 3 miles through the preserve, including a couple extensions that go to the river. This is one lovely view from a thoughtfully provided bench.
I am an exhibiting artist in southwest Florida and my art has been exhibited in galleries in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina and is in collections nationwide. I create abstract photography, mixed media photo painting, acrylic mixed media, and acrylic paintings. Many would make great decorative throw pillows or shower curtains. I've even had a couple abstracts made into my personal cell phone covers. Please check out my Facebook page Doodleng Art by Sharon Eng for announcements and more information about my art. This image would be a good selection for business or corporate wall art and decor or in any home.
