Mardi Gras Jazz Dachshund Painting As Seen In Mimi's Cafe

One of my most popular pieces - the one people search all over the internet to find (seriously - you guys do this!) is my Mardi Gras Jazz Dachshund painting. Mimi's Cafe purchased over 30 of these for their nationwide chain restaurants (and I have to add, I sure wish we had one here!). The photo above is one of my wonderful collectors at a Mimi's Cafe in California. She was sooo kind to send me this photo.

Well, I have great news! For a limited time, I am taking orders for this particular painting. No, I do not offer prints of this. What you will be purchasing is an original painting like the one show below. (You do know that when you get an original, there will be slight variations to some of the detail, but it will still be the 'same' painting).

Don't wait! If you want one, contact me immediately for details and pricing.

The painting will be 12" x 16" on gallery wrapped stretched canvas with the sides painted black. Here are some images of various paintings done over the past six months.

My newest piece - this one is big! It's 16" x 20"!



This is another addition to my fUnKy New Orleans Series. Bright! Vivid! Fun! Size is 16" x 20" on gallery wrapped (staple‑free sides) stretched canvas with 3/4" deep sides. This painting is, as always, full of eye-teasing detail. Iron Balconies, warmly light windows, and can’t you just feel the jazz music??? Look at that huge moon in the sky… What a night.






Available at Etsy right now. SOLD!!! No longer available.

French Quarter Shotgun House No. 205

New for 2009! "French Quarter Shotgun House No. 205"!










Original fUnKy New Orleans Painting. This is a continuation of my FuNkY New Orleans French Quarter Street Scenes. Bright! Vivid! Fun! You know you just gotta have one!

If you’ve been to the French Quarter – you’ve seen these cute little houses lines up in rows just blocks from some of the jazziest restaurants and clubs in New Orleans. The title “205” indicates the ficticious house number, and does not imply that this is the 205th painting in the series (although I’m getting close but not counting). This gallery-wrapped (that means staple-free sides!) stretched canvas is 12x16 with ¾” deep sides. Sides are painted black for modern unframed hanging. Although attempts have been made to capture image of original, colors in image may appear lighter or darker than original, especially between different monitors.Painting is unframed. Feel free to e‑mail me with any questions.

For Inquiries about my paintings....

I have had people try to reach me in the past six months that weren't very successful. I'm truly sorry. I'm starting this blog so I have a central way of communicating and updating you on my art.

I've recently listed several things on ebay and etsy. The links are on the sidebar. You can reach me by leaving a comment on this blog or through the online stores. I'll list some photos of available paintings on another post. Thanks for stopping by!
