Description
Description of the artwork: This remarkably vibrant oil on canvas piece measures 36x48 inches. The mouth of the Mississippi River holds paramount significance as the primary bird and waterfowl migration corridor on the continent, supporting North America's largest wetland area and bottomland hardwood forest. Its rich cultural traditions mirror the diversity of its abundant natural resources, forming an integral part of the Delta's identity. About the artist, Will M. Smith Jr.: Will M. Smith Jr.'s artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for environmental protection and underscores the vital role of Louisiana's seafood industry in our economy and cultural identity. As a committed environmental activist, Will has dedicated himself to capturing the disappearing way of life within the Louisiana wetlands and coastal areas.
