'Ouachita Tom' - Original

18x13 Acrylic gesso primed panel

This painting was created for the 2025 Arkansas State Quail and Turkey Stamp Art Competition. It didn’t take home a win, but it still means so much to me. Being born in Arkansas, with family still nestled near the Ouachita Mountains, this piece feels like a small tribute to the place and the people who shaped me. It carries memories, roots, and a little bit of home in every brushstroke.
