Landscape Painting on the Anhinga Trail HOMESTEAD, FL: Everglades National Park is pleased to invite the community to visit the December Artist in Residence, Bill Brody, at the Anhinga Trail from Wednesday, December 28 to Friday, December 30, 2011. Bill Brody will be on site from 9:00a-5:00p to demonstrate his artwork and talk to visitors about his large scale landscape paintings that are six feet long. Bill Brody explains, "I paint all day, most every day. It is enormously satisfying to finish a large canvas in the field; the more difficult the subject matter, and the more challenging the terrain the better." Mr. Brody also sketches and takes panoramic photographs. The photos provide material for web presentations, other paintings, prints, and works on forged and carved copper and bronze. "When I'm out in the landscape," Bill Brody shares, "I wait until the land seems to move; to come alive. I start to see processes and I personalize them." Join us to meet a spectacular artist and see the wonders and wildlife found on the Anhinga Trail. Directions: Ernest F.
