The Glades

By artist Ben Cannon, *The Glades* is a mesmerizing new collection that plunges you into the wild, whispering heart of the Florida Everglades—endless sawgrass swaying like golden waves beneath vast skies, ancient cypress knees rising from dark mirror-water, and the low sun igniting lily pads and airboat wakes in molten light. With the same meticulous passion he once devoted to tall ships, Cannon now captures the humid breath of the swamp: silent alligators gliding beneath orchids, herons lifting from the mist, and the electric hush of a wilderness both fierce and fragile. These luminous paintings pulse with heat, mystery, and the slow heartbeat of the River of Grass, proving Cannon’s mastery thrives wherever water meets sky.
