The Gulf Coast in southern Louisiana is known as Cajun country and is home to a plethora of working seafaring vessels. Herman Ferrell has captured many of these majestic working boats perfectly in his fishing boat art prints. Whether your interest is in the striking beauty of this area and its play of light on water, or in details of the boats themselves, you will find it in Ferrell's work. As a Louisiana native the love he feels for his home comes through clearly in his art. Ferrell's work is uniquely identifiable as his own; he has painted for decades and perfected a signature look and feel that you can't find anywhere else.
Sadly shrimp boat art of the older wooden boats is a disappearing medium. The hurricanes that have devastated Louisiana in the recent past, particularly Katrina, have made many of these beautiful wooden boats nothing more than memories. Herman Ferrell's gorgeous work memorializes these glimpses of Louisiana's past forever. Ferrell's affection for his subject matter shows in each piece for which he provides insightful descriptions on his site. From describing the age of the vessel to the area where it was painted, these glimpses of background add richness to each piece that add to its enjoyment.
"Shrimp boats is a-comin, their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin, there's dancin tonight
Why dontcha hurry hurry home, Why dontcha hurry hurry home, look here the
Shrimp boats is a comin, there's dancin tonight".
