Wetland landscape fine art painting

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

There is a peacefulness woven through the scene, a sense that the forest itself has paused to listen. The birds’ soft colors rise against the snowy branches like small lanterns of life, each one adding its own note to the quiet harmony of winter. The holly’s red berries echo the warmth of Holiday traditions, while the muted sky carries the promise of a night filled with calm and comfort. In this painting, the season is not loud or grand — it is intimate, heartfelt, and carried gently on the wings of three tiny voices. This is 14" by 11".  Original will come in a floating frame.

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

In Where the Valley Remembers, the landscape holds its breath in a moment of gentle communion. 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. It is 36 x 48, 1.5 depth, gallery wrap style with painted sides Signed Canvas or Paper Prints Available, Contact Artist for more information. mary@maryspaintings.com
