Pickles At Manchac

Bayou Manchac is an eighteen mile long bayou in southeast Louisiana. This bayou was once a very important waterway linking the Mississippi River to the Amite River. The artist's dog Pickles stands proudly on the wharf enjoying the serenity of the bayou. Pickles was the family pet (dog) for over 15 years. David placed him in a couple of Landscape Pictures and decided he would become a sentimental addition to most of his paintings. Pickles is usually in silhouette placed in inconspicuous parts of his paintings. Many of his customers now look for Pickles when they are purchasing his work.
