Color Louisiana: A Coloring Book Inspired by the Paintings of Gavin Bridges

Discover the vibrant spirit and natural beauty of Louisiana through Color Louisiana, a 20-page coloring book based on original paintings by artist Gavin Bridges. Known for his bold brushwork, textured landscapes, and thoughtful integration of environmental themes, Bridges captures the heart of the South — from bayous teeming with life to forgotten places reclaimed by nature. Each page invites you to reimagine scenes drawn from the artist’s mixed media work: majestic egrets and blue herons, swamp cypress trees, and surreal backdrops layered with the quiet presence of discarded objects. These images reflect both resilience and fragility — offering a creative way to connect with Louisiana’s land, culture, and environmental stories. Perfect for all ages, this coloring book is both a meditative art activity and an introduction to Gavin Bridges’ unique perspective on the relationship between nature and human impact.
