Original Watercolor Painting-5x7” “A Summer’s Day”

This original 5 x 7 watercolor captures the feeling of heat, light, and quiet growth on the Cajun Prairie. Loose washes of green and warm ochre flow into soft vertical drips, suggesting wild plants, tall grasses, and that slow summer stillness I’m always drawn to. I allowed the paint to move freely, creating an organic landscape that feels both abstract and familiar — a small piece rooted in observation, memory, and Louisiana folk art.
