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

Eagle oil painting original

Arts & Crafts
$1,200.00
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.

Fall Blue Jay – Original oil painting
