from "Compelling Landscapes" presenting Gallery 65 ...
This Gallery is
a painter's tour through Louisiana BEFORE the 2010
gulf oil spill. Colorful, quaint, the very old
and the very new...memorable images captured on canvas.
Steam rises on the Black Bayou
and Cypress trees dance in
the reflections of Lake Providence. More than
100 lakes bathe Louisiana, offshoots of the Mississippi
and Red River. Brown
Pelicans, Ducks, and pretty
big turtles own the land and the waters, except where
the alligator roams!
Creole National Park, on the Cane
River, is amidst the Sugar
Plantations sporting their fineries of the 1800's
including ponds, and statues of
cherubs, dogs,
frogs, herons
and hand hewn waterfalls.
New Orleans has roots in the 1700's leaving
sights like the St Louis Cemetery
- crypts of dignitaries from pirates to generals and,
of course, there's the oldest section of town, the
French Quarter.
Yes, Louisiana is the greatest wetland in "America"
but also it is much much more!
