L. Beau Boudreaux

SOLD

27"x12"
 

  I don't know his real name, not sure if anybody does, probably not even his mama.  He has just been L. Beau to all who know him.
     L. Beau grew up on Bayou Lafourche, playing football, when he did attend school, and barely passing from year to year.  L. Beau could pass the ball further than anyone else in the state.  It was the way his elbow snapped when he released the ball.  Rumor has it that the Principal, Mr. Cannatella, who was also the football coach, socially promoted him because of his skills on the field....
     L. Beau lives on the outskirts of Leeville, just before Grand Isle, in a rundown, neglected house, built up two stories high because of the high water, with his third wife and seven children.  He works offshore on the oilrigs but prefers hunting and fishing.  He frequently says,  "As long as there is a warm bed, a good woman to cook for me and give me pleasure and I have my beer, a shotgun and a good fishing boat then that is all that matters.  I am a happy man."
