"Six Mile Cypress Preserve", 24x30 original acrylic on canvas by contemporary realistic artist Cheri Clearwater. Framed in a 3” textured wood grained dark brown resin frame,  Total dimensions 27"x 33".  Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve is a wetland preserve in Fort Myers Florida. It is an ecosystem that is unique to the Florida landscape. My interpretation of this area delivers a misty background with cool blues, soft greens, and the hazy purple of distant shapes across the pond in the middle that separates background from foreground. This enhances the feeling that you, the viewer, are looking out at the pond from a sheltered area in front. Tall Cypress trees just in front frame your view. Surrounded by ferns and smaller trees and their reflections in the water lead to where you are viewing from. A feeling of solitude and sanctuary, connect us to this primordial landscape.
