Lonnie Boutté
I have participated in various artistic activities, including creating holiday window decorations, greeting cards, and some graphic design. Due to corporate commitments, I did not have the opportunity or time to fully pursue this interest. After retiring, I began working on wall murals and paintings, which I gifted to family and friends. Following positive feedback and the sale of some pieces, I have decided to expand my inventory to include an outdoor concept called “AOL Yard Art”.
After completing the construction of my backyard, I noticed that there were over 300 feet of wooden fencing that appeared bare. To address this, I created a 50-foot mural on one side. However, it still seemed incomplete, so I decided to create additional paintings to fill the space and enhance the yard while withstanding the sometimes-intense Louisiana weather. To achieve this, I painted on ¼ inch backer board.
