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!

This is the first in the series from artist Susan Havens-Morris of what will be five portraits of the same woman dating from the 1850s-1920s. Susan searched for a subject to explore time with. She paints from impressions of the image, not concerned with representing the features and details of the actual subject. Working with color to help define the ages of the women. 

Jeni is youthful and bright life's troubles are slowly emerging but not present yet, as pictured by her blue, hopeful eyes are she is looking off in the distance, no concerns present in her face. Her crown of flowers is small, but full of life, with soft wisps of green and deep pink.

This is the second installment in the Evolution Series. Her name is Julia, and the subject is in her late teens. Our Artist captures the moody teen years through a drastic change in color. There is navy being introduced in the background, yet a fuller crown has grown. This signals the beginning of realization in her life, a teen's bliss full ignorance begins to escape her. Notice even the flowers have become thicker and more volume.

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.

" Garden Club Ladies"

Size: 48" W x 36" H

From our Calm Series of original paintings featuring the ocean, swimmers, and people at the beach. This one is a portrait of a swimmer at rest by the tranquil serenity of the beach. The landscape is still water and clear blue skies. Our artist takes the vision of the beach as a white place to think. The blowing wind and crashing waves are often a white noise allowing one to think. There is a connected oneness with nature that we often overlook. 

This painting captures a woman in a swimmer's cap, a swim team-style bathing suit, in contemplation gazing off into the distance. This can be disarming as most work expects action, but this is meant to attract Calm.

Size: 23"w x 24"h x 2"d

The tombs in the cemeteries of New Orleans are works of art in themselves. This tomb is located in Greenwood Cemetery on Canal Street, New Orleans. 

This impressive, large-scale painting pays homage to this classic white marble family tomb. The remains of a cast-iron gate sit in front, sadly keeping no one out anymore. An Urn on top draped in cloth depicting the veil between life and death. The artful ornate carvings of the tomb are highlighted in layers of textural paint.

Just like the crumbling tombs, our process of using torn paper to create texture and imperfection. Paint wash is layered over to create this hauntingly beautiful emerald green backdrop in contrast to the white marble stone of the tomb. We hope we have captured the colorful history of this tomb.
