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.
