Elk in forest oil painting

$1,800.00

Where the Mountains Hide Their Faces – There is a solemn beauty in the way the wilderness holds its secrets. The elk moves with a kind of ancient patience, stepping through the cold as though it understands the hidden rhythms of the land. The pond, dark and half‑frozen, reflects only hints of the world above it, mirroring the mystery of the mountains themselves. In this moment, the forest becomes a cathedral of winter, the creature a lone pilgrim, and the unseen peaks a reminder that some truths are felt long before they are seen.

Specs: 24″ by 18″, 1.5″ deep, gallery wrap style with painted size.

Description

In this painting of a bull elk, winter gathers its silence in deep, deliberate layers. The elk stands at the edge of a frozen world, its breath rising like a small offering to the unseen summits beyond the trees. Snow drapes the forest in heavy stillness, softening every sound until the landscape feels almost sacred. Though the mountains remain concealed behind the veil of pines and sun’s glare against the snow, their presence is unmistakable — felt in the crispness of the air, the hush of the light, and the quiet authority that settles over the scene.

Specs: 24″ by 18″, 1.5″ deep, gallery wrap style with painted sides.

Boomer

Arts & Crafts
$1,500.00
Boomer  - Oil on canvas:  There are dogs who simply share our homes, and then there are dogs who share our lives. Boomer was the latter — a Springer Spaniel with a gaze that could quiet a room and a spirit that moved with equal parts devotion and mischief. In this portrait, his expressive brown eyes become the focal point, drawing the viewer into a moment of connection that feels both intimate and enduring. Painted in 2015, the piece blends realism with a softly impressionistic landscape, allowing Boomer’s presence to rise from a world of color and memory. The textured brushwork in his black‑and‑white coat reflects the tactile truth of a beloved companion, while the rolling hills and luminous sky behind him echo the joy and freedom he carried wherever he went. It is 18 x 24, 1  depth, framed in a matching floating frame. Signed Canvas or Paper Prints Available, Contact Artist for more information. mary@maryspaintings.com

Oil painting of cardinal bird

Arts & Crafts
$800.00
There is a quiet courage in the way the cardinal holds its place among the blossoms, as if the garden itself has offered him a moment of refuge. The soft whites and greens gather around his bright red form like a circle of calm, letting his vivid heart shine without strain. In this stillness, the bird becomes a symbol of hope carried lightly — a reminder that even the smallest presence can brighten a weary day. The scene feels like a blessing whispered in color, a gentle assurance that beauty endures, even in the tender spaces where light and emotion meet.14" by 14"  Sold in a floating frame Signed Canvas or Paper Prints Available, Contact Artist for more information. mary@maryspaintings.com

When the Sky Held Its Breath

Arts & Crafts
$6,048.00
On the eve of the catastrophic August 2016 flood, the wetlands held their breath beneath a sky splitting open with fire and shadow. Pelicans carved through the heavy air as cypress sentinels braced against the quickly approaching storm, and the last light flared defiantly across Lake Arthur’s darkening water. This painting captures that charged, unforgettable moment—beauty standing its ground before the storm reshaped South Louisiana. It is 40 x 30, 1.5 depth, gallery wrap style with painted sides Signed Canvas or Paper Prints Available, Contact Artist for more information. mary@maryspaintings.com

Where the Green World Breathes

Arts & Crafts
$4,500.00
The forest in Where the Green World Breathes feels like a living cathedral, its light falling in soft, moss‑green hushes as the waterfall threads its quiet song through stone and shadow. The stag stands poised at the edge of that shimmering veil, not as a visitor but as part of the land’s own heartbeat—an emblem of stillness within motion, strength within gentleness. In this moment, the wild world seems to inhale, holding its breath in reverence, as if acknowledging the sacredness of every creature that depends on its enduring grace. 48 by 24 and the depth is 1; will come wrapped in a frame.

Where the Marsh Remembers

Arts & Crafts
$2,400.00
The first whooping crane hatchling born in Louisiana since 1938 is more than a milestone; it is a breath restored to a story that nearly ended. In this triptych, the cranes move through light and marshland like living prayers, each panel holding a chapter of a species’ long journey back from silence. The tiny hatchling—once front‑page news, once unthinkable—becomes the heart of the piece, a symbol of resilience so delicate it feels almost holy. This painting doesn’t just honor the moment; it preserves the hope that rose from the marsh after eighty‑three years, reminding us that even the rarest lives can return when land, patience, and love make room for them. Celebrating the first successful hatchling of a Whooping Crane since 1938) Signed Canvas or Paper Prints Available, Contact Artist for more information. mary@maryspaintings.com

The standing deer watches the river’s slow turn, alert yet unafraid, while the resting deer settles into the soft cradle of grass and shadow. The eagle’s glide overhead adds a note of wild sovereignty, tying earth and sky together in one sweeping gesture. The warm light of the setting sun softens every edge, turning the valley into a sanctuary where creatures move with quiet purpose.
