Louisiana Nature Paintings by Michael Guidry

  • Google Calendar ICS

louisiana nature paintings by Michael Guidry
October 11 - december 20, 2025
Exhibition Opening at Fall for Art - Saturday, October 11, 2025, 6:00pm - 9:00pm

Michael Guidry is a New Orleans–based oil painter whose vibrant, layered works draw from the rich landscapes and waterways of South Louisiana. Working from life, memory, and imagination, Guidry builds his compositions with oil colors on wood, burlap, aluminum, and canvas. His practice is rooted in classical traditions he studied at Louisiana State University and the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, yet his paintings push into contemporary terrain through bold color, experimentation with materials, and narrative symbolism.
Nature is both his subject and collaborator. Much of Guidry’s inspiration comes from time spent at his fishing camp in the Louisiana salt marsh, where encounters with wildlife, shifting tides, and fragile wetlands fuel his visual language. From clumps of marsh grass to albino alligators, from herons mid-flight to the rhythms of bayou life, his paintings transform raw experiences into luminous reflections of memory and myth.
Over the past decade, Guidry’s work has evolved from natural studies to storytelling compositions, weaving together environmental observation with personal history. His art has been exhibited widely, including at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and has been praised for its humor, vibrancy, and distinct perspective on Louisiana’s natural world. Guidry holds a degree in Journalism from LSU, with minors in French, History, Painting, and Sculpture. He lived and worked in New York City before returning to Louisiana to pursue art full time. Today, his studio practice is interwoven with family life, fatherhood, and a continuing sense of discovery.

Introduction to Impactful Negative Painting Techniques

Single-Session workshop Saturday, June 21st
9:00am - 1:00pm

In this introduction workshop, students take advantage of the nature of acrylic paint and work in multiple layers of transparency and opacity. Students will create a painting from start to finish using a negative painting approach - painting “around” an object to suggest its shape, as opposed to “filling it in!”

This 3 to 4-hour workshop introduces negative painting techniques with demonstrations and mini-exercises to impart basic acrylic painting tips about brushwork, edges, color characteristics, value contrasts and more. As a culmination to the workshop, you will use these tips and techniques to create your own nature-inspired painting!

Students will learn the difference between “positive” and “negative” painting, learn about the color characteristics integral to the technique, conduct transparency tests, and identify fundamental shapes.

In their main project, students will build on their exercises to create a dramatic acrylic painting.

Students will also receive a Workshop Handbook to print out and keep for reference to help you continue your practice and exploration of negative painting at home!

Tom Walton: Time in Louisiana

  • St. Tammany Art Association (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

april 12 - may 24, 2025
exhibition opening during spring for art
april 12, 2025 from 6:00pm - 9:00pm

The St. Tammany Art Association is honored to present Time in Louisiana, a solo exhibition of oil paintings by Tom Walton.

Time in Louisiana is a collection of sometimes figurative paintings, oil on linen, set in domestic spaces. The paintings are evocative of universal themes such as home, shared spaces, and even isolation in those spaces. Painting from direct observation, Walton describes his surroundings, inviting the viewer into paintings that feel deeply personal but are not limited to autobiography. The work is liminal in that it captures a moment that is otherwise looked over; here is the time when something has already occurred, or something is about to happen. The moments are fragile in their evanescence, quiet, and meditative. The paintings are gifts in that they honestly describe these moments.  

Walton’s process is one in which he practices focus with intention, but with restriction. Because of the care Walton gives to his practice of observation, his paintings are deeply attentive to his subjects, giving them almost formal and symbolic resonance.  The restriction is more the permission to allow the act of painting to lead the work. The paintings are content inspired, and yet not content driven.
