      Endangered Species can encompass both animal and vegetation.  The American Crocodile and the 'Buccaneer Palm Tree' have joined the Endangered Series. 'The Buccaneer Palm' is currently on exhibit at Art Fusion Gallery in the Design District in Miami, Fl., along with the Loggerhead Turtles, No. 1 and 2. 
     Judith painted the Loggerhead Turtle series on the beach where the turtles lay their eggs, in Crandon Park on the island of Key Biscayne, Florida.  As you can see in the painting 'Loggerhead Turtle Skull No. 1', a tear is just under the right orbit.  Judith did not know at the time of the painting that turtles cry when they lay their eggs, but was told this after the painting was completed.  It is said that they cry to keep the sand out of their eyes, but who knows for sure?
    A portion of the proceeds from the sale of any painting from the Endangered Species Series will automatically be donated to a non-profit group that enables their survival.  Please go the the page 'About the Artist' to click on the links to two of the non-profits and see what they are doing today and what you can do tomorrow, to help ensure their future.

The view through the eye of another species is often so very different from our own.
