Tranquil Morning on Lake Pontchartrain – A Louisiana Working Waterfront
This 24” × 36” woodburned painting, framed in distressed wood, captures the expansive view from Madisonville where the Tchefuncte River empties into Lake Pontchartrain. Shrimp boats work the waters while seagulls and brown pelicans circle overhead, their silhouettes etched against the soft morning light and vast Louisiana sky.
Rendered with intricate pyrography and layered acrylics and watercolors, the piece conveys the timeless rhythm of working the lake — the gentle mist rising from the water, the distant lighthouse, and the quiet dignity of those who make their living on these waters. The inspiration came from many peaceful mornings spent watching the boats and birds against the changing sky, transforming a familiar Louisiana scene into a contemplative landscape.
Materials: Woodburn (pyrography) on wood with acrylics and watercolors, distressed wood frame.
Dimensions: 24” × 36” framed.
Price: $1,650
Purchasing Note: Serious inquiries welcome. Message for additional photos, shipping quote (fully insured professional packing), or payment options. This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork. Limited similar commissions may be available on request.
Location: Louisiana, USA
