Abandoned Shrimp Boat painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Abandoned Shrimp Boat painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

This Shrimp Boat is in Bon Secour, Al. It was beached during a hurricane and was owned by my uncle Robert Johnson. It is featured in the beginning of the TV series Hart of Dixie. I decided to paint it as I have fond memories of this boat. I ate many shrimp caught on this boat. Anyone who has ever been around a Shrimper knows that this is a hard brutal way to earn a living. I have respect for all those out there who face the weather and elements to bring us good things.6x6 oil on wrapped canvas.

Almost Home by Angela Sullivan

A small dynamic painting with loose brush strokes and such a feeling 

of just being there. As I painted this I think I could taste the

saltiness on my lips and the air did seem a bit moist and warm.

Today I Go Shrimping

Today I Go Shrimping

I love that mist filled air where shrimp boats gather. I can remember the heavy salty air at Bayou La Batre,Al

a little fishing town on the gulf coast. My uncle Robert owned a shrimp boat there named the Morning Star. I think of him as I paint this.

Shrimping

Shrimping

Shrimp boats are so majestic and old looking. When I think of them I think of something old

and creaking with each roll of the tide. I know I am wrong but my thoughts are along the gulf coast.

A place where seagulls fill the sky and the smell of salt is heavy in the air.

Tied to the dock the boat feels the heat as the sun cast a warm glow of light before the

heat of the day sets in. Today will be spent trolling the gulf for shrimp.

Her bounty will provide local restaurants with the best catch.

Safe Harbor

Safe Harbor

Sitting in the harbor are two shrimp boats. Safe from the devastation of the

recent oil spill. These two boats are in still water with only ripples from the current gently

swaying them ever so slightly. They won't shrimp today.

Today is a day of leisure, a day for their owners to

spend time with their families a day spent in safe harbor.

Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas 18x24.

Thanks to Sally Evans for naming the boats.

The Carol

Painting this boat reminded me of an

old shrimp boat my dad used to own.

We, my dad, brother, sisters and I set

out for a nice day of shrimping. A tremendous

storm came up and almost capsized our

53 ft shrimper. I have never been so scared

in my life. Acrylic on 10x20 panel board.
