The Bienville Street Horse stands out in front of its warm yellow and dark red background. In the same way that Bienville Street is a perfect spot to catch a sunset on Bayou St. John, our Bienville Street Horse feels like it's galloping along the waterfront during sunrise. 

The lighting on the horse himself is highlighted to appear to be the rays of sun shining through the clouds. The shadows from the clouds contrast against his blue-gray color, enhancing the detail in his mane. The textured paper gives the illusion of murky Bayou water reflecting off of him.

The Decatur Street Horse swims atop the boozy colors of red wine and dark whiskey. The sight of this painting transports one to the lively strolls in the French Quarter past Jackson Square, Cafe Du Monde, and Washington Park with Mint Juleps in tow!

The crumbled effect of this painting reminds us of the peaks and waves of the Mississippi River, which runs parallel to Decatur Street. The blue and white highlights are reminiscent of an evening spent on the riverwalk passing the steamboats and hearing the late night jazz musicians serenade your soul. 

Decatur Street Horse would be a lovely addition to any vacation home or formal entertaining space. Whether it is placed in a focal point or accent point, this painting is sure to be the main talking point!

The Yellow Tomb is located in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans. St. Louis Cemetery was built in 1789, making it one of the oldest in the city.

One of the first things you'll see when you visit this cemetery is a bank of "wall vaults." These tombs stack gravesites, filing cabinet style, one above the other. 

Many of these vaults house families, like the tomb, featured here. After a body is interred, it is left undisturbed in the grave for a period of one year and one day. At that point, the remains may be pushed to the back of the tomb, leaving room for another body to be interred. In fact, you can see that detail in this piece.

It appears that this tomb holds four, with someone recently being added in the upper right-hand corner. That corner has been cut open and re-plastered separately from the other three.

Our process of using torn, textured paper adds a three-dimensional element to the piece, accentuating the unique history of this tomb. Paint wash is then applied, creating a warm yellow backdrop, enhancing the whites and dark grays of the tomb. The dark reds, blues, and greens around the gate contrast with the vibrant backdrop, detailing the texture of the piece.

This photo was mounted to a textured paper background on a wood panel, then enhanced with Acrylic paint, CrasPas, and Oil Pastel.

Silhouetted on a deep red background among layers of orange and black and highlighted in light blues, our Burgundy Horse Post lives up to his name.

Burgundy Street in the French Quarter is a favorite for local New Orleanians. Home to Cosimo's and The Ruby Slipper, Burgundy is lined with the down-home essentials that make the French Quarter livable. The blues that highlight the detail of the horse post are similar to the lights of Buffa's Lounge, which light up Burgundy Street with a warm and welcoming glow. 

Similarly, our Burgundy Street Horse Post adds a comfortable and welcoming feeling to any spot in your home.

This Horse post is the sister piece to "Bourbon Street Brunch Horse". An equal compliment to bookend the beautiful fun pair. They work well as his and her gifts for your favorite lively couple or place in the entryway to welcome your guests to your cheerful festivities.

The strategic highlights were meant to enhance the flowing mane of the horse and ridged edges of the banding. The multiple colors cause the hitch to glow in a bright neon sense emulating the bright lights that illuminate Bourbon Street. The thin whitewash over the rainbow of color raises the horse off the background mimicking the subtle morning fog that creeps over the quarter streets in the early morning hours after a long evening on Bourbon. 

The fine glitter detail on this painting is original to this specific horse post. Every Mardi Gras this horse post is given a glitter bath, so much so that this horse is permanently glittery!

Our Frenchman horse sits silhouetted on a fiery orange background among a charred black. The subtle notes of brown texture look like aged flyers having been layered band ads on the Frenchman street post.  It feels like standing under a dim streetlight in the evening. The darkness encompasses you and only small pockets of light from the music venues seem to guide you along the street. 

To further emulate, the lighting on the horse himself is highlighted to appear under a white spotlight on stage. The Horse is fully dressed in his bridle, his mane has been slicked on top of his head, and ready to perform for the Frenchman masses. His eyes are exhilarated locking your gaze in. 

The color pallet selected was minimal sticking is a rusty red as a nod to the weathered iron, the white reflects back the beaming New Orleans sun, and the faint moss green demonstrates the small bunches of living greenery that feed off the New Orleans humidity.

This is an original mixed media painting of a horse head hitching post on Bourbon St. in New Orleans, Louisiana. The horse hitching posts were originally used to "hitch" or tie a person's horse so that they could galavant around town running errands or grabbing cocktails. However, these days, they have a dual purpose of adding old-world charm and keeping cars from parking on the sidewalk! 

These horse posts can be seen all over New Orleans. They stand 42 inches tall and are made of sturdy cast iron, making them one of the staple details of New Orleans. 

This photo was mounted to a textured paper background, mounted to a wooden panel, then enhanced with acrylic paint, CrayPas, and Oil Pastels. Shown for its intricate ornamentation and fine details, the multiple lively colors bring out the character and pizazz of the area in which it is located. The fine glitter detail on the painting is original to this specific horse hitch and can be seen when visiting him in person on Bourbon Street. As the bright colors bleed into the complimentary white background, one appreciates the horse's natural shape and detail.
