animal preserve

on thursday for my water based media class we went to a local animal preserve.  mostly it was just sad animals in large cages.  the site used to be the center for disease control where they worked on treating syphilis.  

the top right corner is my favorite part of the piece.  i have to work on getting more ritch pooling of color like that in the future. 

there is an odd story behind this boat being at the animal preserve.  one of the men who works there was traveling across the country in his 20s on this boat.  while in savannah the boat sank twice the second time being right at the animal preserve.  while staying in savannah he met a woman, fell in love, now they are 70.  to me the boat in this picture symbolizes a journeys end.
