Description
It was a year ago this week that I visited New Orleans (for Halloween no less!...the perfect place to be for one of my favorite holidays.) Once we were sated with the city, we went on to Lafayette, Louisiana and stayed in the heart of the bayou. Visiting this area had been on my bucket list for years. The photo I used for inspiration was taken while on a swamp tour which was a highlight of our trip. We were riding in a small boat with one of the local folk who showed us every nook and cranny of his native territory. I just had to do a painting of the distinctive tupelo trees, the egret, and the breathtaking reflections in the murky water. It's a memory I still cherish.
