"Banks of the Bogue Falaya" is a radiant original plein air painting by Glinda Schafer, captured on a sun-drenched day along the Bogue Falaya River at Wayside Park in Covington, Louisiana. In the artist’s own words: “A beautiful day to soak up the sun and count my blessings!”

Ancient cypress trees frame a shimmering stretch of river, their gnarled knees rising from the sandy bank as dappled light dances across the water’s surface. The painting radiates the particular stillness of a Louisiana afternoon — warm, green, and unhurried — inviting the viewer to linger on the bank and breathe it all in.
