Audubon Park Stoop

Audubon Park Stoop
16" x 12" oil on board


I took the reference photo for this painting several years ago during a visit to New Orleans. I wish I could grow oranges on my stoop...

Jackson Square

9" x 12"
Watercolor on paper
$35 plus shipping

I'm painting with watercolors more and more these days due to my lack of free time.  Watercolor is quicker to set up and easier to clean.  The technique is much different from oil painting, but one thing I've learned that I really enjoy is leaving holes in the color to let the bright white paper shine through.  Easy highlights!  This painting is from a photo taken in Jackson Square, New Orleans.

Burbon Street II

9" x 12"
Watercolor on paper
$35

I usually try to stay away from Burbon Street when I'm in New Orleans, but it makes for a good painting.  And this is what (I imagine) it would look like stumbling toward your hotel room on Canal Street after a few Abitas.

I'm still trying to move away from purely representational painting, toward a more loose and expressive style.  But that's true in all areas in my life.

'Bourbon Street - Framed'

8' x 10' Oil on Panel

Sold

This is my painting, 'Bourbon Street,' that I did a few months back after my trip to New Orleans. My friend is a carpenter and he had some some curly maple laying around so he made a frame for it. Pretty awesome huh? I love how the reds and yellows of the frame pull out colors from the painting and the grain of the wood leads your eye into the painting...Nice work and thanks for sending the photo!

"Warehouse District"

8" x 10" Oil on Panel
Sold

This is the "Warehouse District" in New Orleans. The painting is adapted from a photo that I took on Tchoupitoulas Street (Still can't pronounce), just down the road from Cochon Restaurant, one of the many restaurants that we sampled during our New Year's 2010 trip to New Orleans. If you like pig in all its glorious forms, check out Cochon.

The painting is of the Warehouse District, but it could be any city. I thought about working in a Fleur-de-lis somewhere, but I couldn't make it work and the painting is busy enough without it.

I haven't painted in a few days because my blog malfunctioned and I had to go back and re-upload every photo that I've posted so far as a link to my Picasa album. That was a little discouraging, but hopefully I'm back in business now.

"Bourbon Street"

Oil on Panel
Sold!
Ever since my wife and I visited New Orleans this past New Year's Eve, I've wanted to paint something from the trip. Bourbon Street certainly isn't my favorite part of New Orleans, in fact, it's probably my least favorite part of New Orleans, but it's still an amazing site.
I painted this really quickly this afternoon. I like the contrast between the warm lights of the street level and the coolness of the building tops and the flags. Feels like a belly full of bourbon to me.
