Dry Pond 8/23

oil and acrylic on canvas

In spring and summer of 2023 we had an extended drought that severely affected the home ranch my studio is on in Norwood, LA in East Feliciana Parish Louisiana.

The local Baton Rouge paper The Advocate ran a cover story on the drought and used photos of our ranch and interview of the Kent family that ranches cows here.

The painting is of a pond I have always know to have water in it that dried all the way up during the drought. It refilled with fall rains.
