Sometimes a small shotgun house looking shed was used to put away small tools. Much like the others, this one is for the home while the others where for the workers.

This scene was a constant. It reminds me a lot of my father and the men who were sharecroppers on the farm that I grew up on. Though tractors had replaced the wagons, I can feel the work ethic it must have taken to house, clothe, and feed their families.

This scene reminiscent of what I saw growing up in rural Louisiana. My grandfather had a black truck that looked a lot like this one. The good old days!

This one is reminiscent of my hometown of Belcher, Louisiana. After talking to my mentor, collector, and friend Henry Price, I tried something a little different application with this one. Fun, but challenging as I try other techniques - always wanting to grow artistically.

Shotgun houses are part of the culture of North Louisiana. Being raised in this area on a cotton plantation has given me a perspective not known by many. My goal is not let these stories fade away without artistic interpretation.

These images are reminiscent of rural farm life all over America. Sharing these images is very important to me…as I grew up seeing scenes like this up close.

These structures represent a life that is still prevalent in the rural parts of America. Travel through the southern states, and a lot are still occupied. My hope is that we always remember the “life” of the families that started right here.

This house, though out in the middle of nowhere, is still full of life. Many family stories reside here. Those were the days of the simple life.

This one is part of small rural series…and it continues. These scenes are so important in the preservation of history. I love capturing these scenes of what is American History.

This is part of the “small rural series” I began awhile back. The fabric of the rural south contains churches of many denominations, but many have the same architectural footprint.

In my early years as a young boy in North Louisiana, I saw this signs of the division as it related to race. I do these pieces to make sure we never take for granted the growth thus far, though there is more to do. My art will make sure this history never dies on the vine. We are stronger…TOGETHER.

Belcher, Louisiana was a very small community, and everyone was like family. My siblings and I went to school with the Armstrong children. My mom even drove us all to school on the bus. Our dads were farmers too. Those were the days.

This piece is a continuation of “small rural series” featuring barns. These barns were a part on the farm life you’d see all over the country. Farming continues to be the backbone of rural America.

I truly love these structures. Rural north Louisiana still has many of these homes standing. I hope that we always remember the “life lessons” of the families that called the shotgun house “home”. It truly is where the heart is.

My dad and fathers of my classmates and close friends in North Louisiana were all employed by the local gins. There were 3 cotton gins within a 15 mile radius.

I often travel to find new subject matter. It is one of many I found on my way to Texas for an art exhibit.

All of the country are the pockets of the country life. Capturing these moments in time keeps history in place…nostalgic and important to hold to.

Nothing like an old shotgun house with a Cadillac out back is there?

12 x 14/framed/graphite (prints are available)

These scenes are common in small rural areas. The structures are what peeks my interest…never to let them fade away forever. I want to make sure that we never forget how they’ve stored many memories of family, faith, food, and the future.

North Louisiana has great spots for fishing. This spot was shared with me when a friend shared a photo knowing I'd be interested in doing a painting of it. He was right!
