Black Bear in Swamp – Canvas Print (Jury Selected Piece)

$400.00

Where the Atchafalaya Breathes – Original oil painting sold.  The price is for a gallery wrapped canvas print.  (Jury selected for participation in the Kit Gilbert Juried Showcase) – There is a sacred beauty in watching the bear reclaim its place among the waterways and winding forests of the Atchafalaya. The wetlands hold its story gently — not a tale of disappearance, but of resilience, protection, and the long patience of a species waiting for its future to brighten. Conservationists, communities, and the land itself worked together to ensure the bear’s voice would not fade from Louisiana’s wild chorus. Today, its presence feels like a blessing woven into the Basin’s tapestry of life, a reminder that when people honor the wild, the wild remembers how to thrive.

Specs Oil on canvas 36″ h and 48″ across, 1.5 ” deep, gallery wrap style with painted sides

Description

In the deep quiet of the Atchafalaya Basin, the Louisiana Black Bear moves with the steady confidence of a survivor — a creature that was never lost, only pushed toward the edge of uncertainty. Its return to strength is written in the soft mud along the bayou, in the shadows beneath ancient cypress knees, in the quiet rustle of palmetto where generations once thinned. When the bear was lifted from the threatened list in 2016, the Basin seemed to exhale, as though the land itself recognized the significance of that moment. Each step the bear takes now feels like a promise kept, a living testament to what careful stewardship can restore.

Specs: Canvas print 36″ h and 48″ across, 1.5 ” deep, gallery wrap style with painted sides

Eagle oil painting original

Arts & Crafts
$800.00
In Where the Mountains Keep Watch, the wilderness gathers around a single cabin tucked beneath towering pines, as if the land itself has chosen to shelter it. The river moves with a soft, steady glow, carrying reflections of sky and timber like whispered stories of the valley. Above it all, the mountains rise in their ancient stillness — vast, unmoving sentinels whose presence can be felt even through the haze that softens their faces. The eagle’s wide arc becomes a blessing over the scene, a reminder that the wild sees everything, remembers everything, and holds its own quiet counsel.
