"40 Love" Painting, LIFE series

40 Love is inspired by the love of the sport. The painting consists of two figures, one standing on the other side of the net and the other lying on the court. The figure lying on the court is so exhausted that they are lying on the court, similar to the player who has won the game. While this player has not won, this painting is not about admitting defeat but about playing. Even though you may not be good, you can still enjoy the game.

This painting was done by artist Susan Havens-Morris. The Life Series is based on moments, events, and things from Susan's childhood during the '70s and '80s.

The tenth piece in our Antoinette Series is large portrait painting of the french queen. Her entire face is made from multiple layers of paint built up. There is so much texture coming together to create her pink complexion.

Her forehead is brushed with a symbolic cross of the catholic symbol and french monarchy. The wig is highlighted with pale pink and bright maroon to add more contract from her dark background.

All of her features are exaggerated voluminous curly hair with bold eyes and plump lips. Her demeanor is present with a light smile, she’s not watching you but merely looking over you.

Would be absolutely stunning in a solid black frame over the fireplace or greeting visitors in your entryway.

The sixth piece in our Antoinette Series that is meant to capture the essence of the tragic life of one of France's more iconic figures, Marie Antoinette. This version of her has perfectly captured the essence of discomfort.

This piece features an animatronic horse in front of a store window that has classic painting displayed on its shelves.

In conjunction with the first piece "Pony for my Birthday", this is the second later-in-life realization. My longing to own my own pony has started to fade. The desire I originally wanted is not as strong, therefore not as realistic as depicted in the horse. The Horse has begun to loose color and chip. All together the horse has become fuzzy in my vision. However, my unrecognized dreams are just beyond the window of my horse. At this point in my life, I'm starting to find new interests like attending art school and making my own art. The art behind the window is made by some of the greatest painters we know, Picasso, Warhol, and O'Keefe, and I've started seeing them in Chicago at the Art Institute, so they are inherently in the back of my mind now. They are finer and clearer in detail than the horse, meaning I'm focusing more on the art that my love of horses. 

In the next 5 years, I'm attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to complete a bachelor's in Fine Art.

Our NEW LIFE series is a take on growing up in the '60s and '70s. People are already saying it is "fun and happy" bright powerful colors are rich and invite you into our world.

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.

Bienville Street Horse is an original mixed media painting. The horse image is mounted to a wooden panel. Textured paper surrounds the image creating a unique background.

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.

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!

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.
