The Pantanal as the painting is called is an eco-region that encompasses the world's largest wetland area. This fabulous acrylic on canvas painting expresses a perspective of a traditional Brazilian rural community. Beautiful trees on dirt roads. Houses surrounded by land, fields, flowers and grass. Horseback riding and children playing football. Woman and children in dresses, colorful people. This painting is a lovely portrayal of many aspects of Brazilian life.
