by Rob Smith, Jr. on Apr.04, 2012, under Caricatures
Had two hours to render these during a public forum on water issues here in Florida. Got all done but had to finished watercoloring one and a half at the end. All are 11″ x 14″. The big one below was fun as Professor bob Knight with the University of Florida brought attention to the days when Silver Springs had Tarzan of the movies was swinging around. I added another movie star in the picture that also was filmed in Silver Springs, The Creature of the Black Lagoon peeking through the water.
If you are from the area you might recognize a few of these folks like Barbara Fitos and Guy Marwick. The issue at hand involves 32,000 acres to be famred and demanding a huge draw down of our water supply while we struggle with a drought. I’m a big fan of farms, but this is most dangerous due to also including tens of thousands of cows on the land along the Silver River, which has already been severly damaged by development in the area. the big question: How much does this all hit taxpayers? A lot, it seems, for cleanup and potential dry wells for thousands of homes in the area.
