The Band

Hello again, everyone.  Here is more inspiration from my trip to Natchitoches, La. During the "Art along the Bricks" Festival, there were so many artists showing their work. The music, the smells and the sounds were awesome! It was my first trip there, so I was a little overwhelmed... There was a group of people sitting together, kinda informal, playing music and singing. I snapped a picture with my cell phone and came home and did this painting. I kind of wanted to keep the faces impressionistic since no one knew I took a picture of them. Come to find out, the lady playing the violin, was actually another artist in the Natchitoches Art Guild! I had no idea! LOL This painting is my interpretation of that group of people. My paintings hung in the Natchitoches Art Guild for almost a year. I hope you enjoy.

Business as Usual

Hello again, everyone. I have not posted anything in a while. Between the new job and learning a whole new system, and getting acquainted with the Natchitoches Art Guild and Gallery, I have been pretty busy. This painting is one that I is inspired from my trip to Natchitoches.

When I got there, there was no electricity in the whole town. There was some kind of accident somewhere that had knocked out the power. All the shops and restaurants couldn't make sales or accept credit cards, except for one store. The Old General Mercantile store was an awesome store. They were ringing up people left and right because they used this huge antique cash register. It was so impressive, with all the buttons and the pull down total mechanism. I snapped a picture with my phone and viola! This is my impression. This is 11x14 oil on stretched canvas and is available for $80 with FREE shipping within the United States.

I hope you enjoy,
Nina
