PLEASE NOTE: Charles Wellington Boyle (1861-1925) was active in New Orleans art circles from 1883 as a painter, art teacher, restorer, and curator. His impressionist paintings of Louisiana bayous and live oak trees employ vivid palettes and beautifully rendered brushwork. The work offered here shows a live oak tree draped in Spanish moss in the foreground framing a meandering bayou in the center of the composition.
