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.

Signed Canvas or Paper Prints Available, Contact Artist for more information.

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

Elk in forest oil painting

Arts & Crafts
$1,200.00
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.

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.

Fall Season Redheaded Woodpecker Bird – Original oil, framed

Arts & Crafts
$1,000.00
Original painting sold.  Price is for a canvas print in a frame. - At 18 by 22 inches, the painting holds an intimacy that invites the viewer closer, as if stepping into the hush of that late‑season afternoon. The colors settle gently across the panel, gathering in soft layers that echo the quiet dignity of the scene. The woodpecker’s bright crown becomes a single note of courage against the mellow drift of pumpkins and leaves, a reminder that even the smallest creatures carry their own rituals of watchfulness. In this scale, every detail feels personal — the weathered grain of the fence, the tender glow of the harvest, the poised stillness of the bird — all working together to honor the fragile beauty of autumn’s last, lingering breath. The painting will come wrapped in a matching floating frame. Signed Canvas or Paper Prints Available, Contact Artist for more information. mary@maryspaintings.com

Stillness Under the Driftwood – Original oil, framed

Arts & Crafts
$900.00
Stillness Under the Driftwood - Tucked beneath the shelter of a fallen log, a young raccoon pauses in the quiet rhythm of the forest.

Light filters gently across the scene, catching the subtle textures of fur, wood, and stone, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness at the water’s edge. This painting celebrates the intimate, often unseen world of Louisiana’s woodland wildlife—where curiosity, caution, and beauty meet in a single breath.
