“Born by the Bayou”

Dimensions: 12x18 in.

Type: Framed, texturized painting

In this serene and soulful Ted Ellis painting, the quiet beauty of the Louisiana bayou comes to life. A strong black man stands poised on a small wooden pirogue, guiding his way through still waters framed by cypress trees and their knobby knees rising from the surface. In the foreground, his young son sits at the edge of a weathered dock, fishing with a quiet patience that mirrors the calm of the scene.
