The Shrimp Boat

Bon Secure, Alabama

While in the Gulf Region, I exhibited in several Art Festivals in Alabama, such as the Gulf Shores Shrimp Festival, in Gulf Shores, Alabama.  So, what better than to paint a painting of a Shrimp Boat.  We spent several days taking pictures of old fishing related scenes and buildings.  It was the end of the day, when all the Shrimp Boats returned with their catch, when I spotted this boat sitting along the channel in Bon Secure, Alabama.  If you’re wondering, it didn’t have “Jenny” painted on it! The painting was done several years before the movie, Forest Gump was released. Who knows, it could have been the boat they used for the movie.
