Flourishes of fantasy within the landscape invoke a sense of wonder, making the familiar cityscape an alien yet beautiful realm. The gentle presence of the alligators lends an air of calm and protection in this otherworldly setting, emphasizing a narrative of harmony and coexistence. *** About American Alligators ***: American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) are a familiar sight in many wetland ecosystems across the southeastern USA, including Texas. They play a crucial role in their habitat, often creating ‘gator holes’ that provide water for various species during dry spells. Typical of reptiles, these alligators exhibit a fierce maternal instinct, guarding their young zealously in their early years. This artwork encapsulates not only the inherent beauty of these creatures but also highlights their significance in maintaining ecological balance.
