Pelicans and Storm Clouds – large, framed stretched canvas print

$400.00

Original oil painting sold.  The price shown is for a framed print on canvas.  –  This is a jury selected piece.  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, .75 depth, framed in simple wood, stretched canvas print, if you prefer a 1.5″ gallery wrapped style, contact artist.  Any version or any size, 40 x 30 or smaller is available.  Pricing will vary for smaller versions.  Contact artist for special orders.

Description

When the Sky Held Its Breath captures the charged stillness before the world changes — that suspended moment when the horizon tightens, the air thickens, and even the pelicans seem to understand what is coming. Painted from a photograph taken late in the day when South Louisiana braced beneath a brilliant, foreboding sky, this piece holds the tension between beauty and danger. Light flares like a warning, color gathers like a heartbeat, and the wetlands stand quietly beneath a sky that knows more than it can say.

It is 40 x 30, .75 depth, framed in simple wood, stretched canvas print

Endangered Species – Canvas Print Triptych Set

Arts & Crafts
$500.00
Original oil painting triptych sold.  The price shown is for a triptych print set on canvas (three separate prints). -  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 seventy-eight 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

English Springer Spaniel Puppy – framed, stretched canvas print

Arts & Crafts
$300.00
Boomer  - Oil on canvas.  Original sold, price is for a framed canvas print.  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.

Arts & Crafts
