🌊🎨 “Roseanne Over Water” – Original Watercolor by Mary Widmer

Framed | One-of-a-Kind | Inspired by a Beloved Shelter Dog

Prepare to be moved by the soulful gaze of Roseanne, one of our most cherished Cape Coral Animal Shelter residents, brought to life in this stunning original watercolor by acclaimed local artist and devoted shelter supporter, Mary Widmer.

With bold emotion and gentle technique, Widmer blends sky and sea to create a hauntingly beautiful portrait that blurs the line between realism and dreamscape. Roseanne’s eyes—wide, glistening, and full of silent wisdom—draw you in. Her nose, soft and close as if she’s just broken the water’s surface, reminds us of every gentle nuzzle we've received from a dog longing for connection and home.

This artwork is not just a painting—it's a statement. A love letter to rescue dogs. A celebration of second chances. A poignant reminder of the incredible animals we serve every day.
