Lost Lake, La


This is the Louisiana marshes south of Houma, near Lost Lake. I went duck hunting near here when I first moved to Louisiana. It's an extremely beautiful area. The floating plants are a non native species that has taken over. They were transferred years ago by ocean tankers dumping bilge water.

This is oil on canvas. I had two canvases the same size so I built a framing rig to join them together and painted them as one.

UPDATE 7/6/18: I gave the right painting away to my employer in Louisana. Then I had the left one cropped and reframed.
Location: 6, LA, USA

Fisher Woman

This is my maternal grandmother, Eva Gertrude "Wowo" Thompson. Yes, we call our grandmother Wowo! Blame my brother. The photo I painted this from was probably when she was in her mid 80's. She's 97 now and as feisty as can be. She has the best mind. Almost a photographic memory. This is the perfect pose for her, She liked(s) nothing more than to be fishing. She cant get around so well, so she hasn't been in a while. I need to take her.
