Sunset on the Bayou
Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas, signed in the lower right corner. Hanging hardware is included.
Inspired by our travels through New Orleans and the surrounding wetlands, this original impressionistic painting captures the quiet magic of a southern bayou at twilight. While based on the boat tours we took through the region, the composition is primarily an imaginative exploration of the light and movement unique to that environment.
The canvas is dominated by a winding river that snakes through a lush, marshy landscape. I used loose, visible brushwork to give the thick green trees and brush a vibrant, wild feel, contrasting the warm sandy banks on the left with the darker, textured earth on the right. The water's surface reflects the soft, cloudy sky above—a mix of pale yellow, peach, and light purple that hints at the very last moments of a Louisiana sunset. By focusing on the interplay of color and texture, I wanted to create a peaceful, natural scene that feels alive with the humid energy of the bayou.
