The artists in this city are beyond amazing. Unique, inspiration, creative, colorful, talent, talent and more talent. I noticed that the artists around Jackson Square did well in selling their art or had a nice audiance of people at least admiring their work. I think people love checking out the art plastered all over the fences and the artists are standing there to answer questions. Compared to the gorgeous galleries on the streets inside the Quarter that were empty of customers. Some hung their art outside the doors to lure you in but the stores had no customers inside. I can speak for myself. I stood on the sidewalks in front of the galleries in awe of the art. Wishing I had the money to buy a piece of art and the space in my house to hang a large piece of art. I was intimidated to go in. I would have felt bad going in and not buying. So I didn't go in. But someone must be buying these beautiful canvasas otherwise the artists would not be able to afford the store front rents.
I particularly like these swamp or bayou paintings. I found them eerily beautiful.
Color color color. Love these!!
This artist had a really nice gallery. He had a series of colorful Mermaid paintings inside that I would to taken some photos of. But I did not go inside. I loved her choice of colors and spirit she adds to his canvas. But guess what I forgot to do. Get the artists name!! But luckily I found her on the internet and her name is Barbara Yochum. Her studio is called Barbara Yocum;s 906 Dream Studio 906 Royal St. New Orleans. Her website is http://www.spiritpainter.com/. And when I started looking at her art I had to laugh, no wonder I liked her work so much. She paints not only these colorful ladies, but Goddess and Mermaids and more.
These paintings look like Voodoo Poppets. I thought they were very interesting.
New Orleans Jazz.
How can you just pick one artist? I would want a painting from all of them.
