Pat Wattam » Spring at the Gatehouse

Spring in Louisiana is beautiful especially when the azaleas are in full bloom!  One of my favorite places to go in spring is just north of St. Francisville, LA to Afton Villa Gardens.  This is the Gatehouse at the entrance.  The landscaping is maintained and planted every year even though the plantation home is long gone.  It's a beautiful place to paint and I have painted several pieces from the scenes there over the years!  This painting was juried into the 54th National River Road Show 2024.
