A few blocks away from Jackson Square and the downtown life of the city are oak tree lined streets flanked by opulent homes known for their incredible iron work and custom architecture. The Garden District store was once a number of plantations which where sold off in parcels to the wealthy who did not want to live in the French Quarter with the Creoles. This area, developed between 1832-1900, is considered one of the best-preserved collections of historic mansions in the South.
I incorporated my love of NOLA, it's architecture and street lights, and gave it my twist with my streetlight aura. The French Quarter of New Orleans is one of my very favorite places to paint. The variance of the city, elegance of it's architecture, and the mystique of it's streets draws me to it. My favorite time of day to paint a scene is those few fleeting moments when day becomes night. Every color becomes more vivid and saturated in depth in those magical moments, leaving me to wonder how many people have experienced this glorious moment in this historical spot. I enjoy capturing a view that I would enjoy spending a couple of hours in front of, taking in all the flavor of my surroundings.
This is a giclee created from my original impasto oil painting. All of my paintings are painted in an impasto style (heavy texture) done in oil using palette knives. Giclee stretched over a .75" frame, using high quality archival inks and protected with a UV coating. Canvas wraps edge of frame and is back stapled. Image wraps around edge of canvas. Making this canvas ready to hang without a frame. Letter of authenticity will accompany the piece, should the giclee ever need an appraisal.
