Two Manatees "Tater Tots" Original Watercolor Painting

Introducing for the first time ever on the Wild Planet Creations website, "Tater Tots" featuring two colorfully vibrant Florida manatees. Samantha created this painting because she truly enjoys depicting the love and magic that wildlife naturally project from within. If you have ever seen a Florida manatee in the wild, you know the joy they immediately bring. If you haven't seen one, what on earth are you waiting for?!

This painting is 22" x 30" in size and comes matted as well as framed. Samantha hand-selected the double mat board (inner is a cool indigo and the outer is a pure white) and frame to really make this painting stand out. The hanging D rings are already installed to make decorating your home with this piece a breeze.

It took 4 days for Samantha to complete this adorably vibrant painting. She actually had the pleasure of finishing the background of this piece on a news segment for ABC Action News in the Tampa Bay area! This painting was highly recognized and loved at the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts the following weekend. You can see some of the behind-the-scenes clips of the filming process in this listing. There is also a blog post where you can find the actual aired segment link.

She primarily used Winsor and Newton professional series watercolor tube paints (as well as a few Daniel Smith tube paints) on cold press, acid free, 300 gsm  Strathmore watercolor paper. She hand signed the front of the painting as well as the back (which she also dated with the year this painting was created - 2025). 

Samantha is more than happy to hand deliver this large painting right to your front door! (as long as you reside within 100 miles of her art studio location). Otherwise, she will ensure pristine delivery via a custom made and well-insulated ULINE box. The painting will also come with a hand signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity with gold detailing and placed in a high-quality certificate folder.

Any watermarks on the photographs used in this listing are purely to ensure that someone (or AI) does not steal the artwork illegally. The watermarks do not exist on the actual painting. Also, the resolution of the photos used in this listing is much lower than the actual painting! In other words, the painting's details are crisp and vivid compared to some of the photographs here (Shopify doesn't allow image files above a certain size).
