Many who have these trees in their yard don’t realize the treasure that they have. Once a year during the spring the fruit of these trees ripens for about 2-3 weeks. They are sweet and tart and so good right off of the tree, but don’t survive long when picked, so they aren’t found in groceries and markets. If you’re not lucky enough to have a tree your only option is to roam the neighborhood looking for trees with fruit hanging low enough that you can grab a few... or more than a few if you’re feeling daring. As a kid in New Orleans East my friends and I spent many warm afternoons climbing strangers’ trees, filling paper sacks as quickly as we could before they came out to run us off. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this piece stays close to the \u003cem\u003eidea \u003c\/em\u003eof a limited color palette, the “blur” effect of the background created a myriad of color overlaps and combinations. Using no blending, washes, or overlapping colors on the canvas, each color was mixed in true OCD form, with each intersecting color being a 50\/50 mix of the two adjacent colors, mixed individually on my palette, applied directly on the bare white canvas. It was a painstaking process to stay true to the effect while ensuring that the edges appeared seamless, but it is interesting to watch as viewers “discover” the contrast between the elements in the foreground with their sharp outlines, and the fruit and leaves of the background which appear out of focus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JVP Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Original \/ 60 x 36","offer_id":37696506527899,"sku":null,"price":6500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Canvas Print \/ 60 x 36","offer_id":37696506560667,"sku":null,"price":1160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas Print \/ 45 x 27","offer_id":37819610136731,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas Print \/ 30 x 18","offer_id":37696506593435,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Watercolor paper print \/ 45 x 27","offer_id":37819611087003,"sku":null,"price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Watercolor paper print \/ 30 x 18","offer_id":37696506626203,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Watercolor paper print \/ 12 x 9*","offer_id":48487675986075,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/9008\/5275\/products\/japanese-plums.jpg?v=1610774911"},{"product_id":"washington-ave-oak","title":"Washington Ave Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eLeaving a coffee shop in New Orleans’ Garden District, I looked up to see a house I’d seen many times, this time from a different angle, and was struck by the composition. Noticing how the tree opened up to expose the details of the porch through something of a porthole, I knew immediately that I needed to paint the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI had no idea how I would approach the leaves and branches, but a variation on existing themes served well in conveying highlights and shadows with only a few key colors.

Instead the intention lies in the combination of shapes and colors. This one is the most sparse of the group, appearing to be pulled and stretched from the center. The central bud shape is the definition of minimalism, depicting the flower shape of the succulent with just three colors and a few incomplete shapes.

They have a special place on a table just outside of my back door. I pass them in the mornings going out to my studio to work, or anytime I’m going out to paint. I captured a few pictures of them one afternoon in the bright sun, then soon after again following a rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI considered doing two large paintings of the same size, one in each state. But while doing the first drawing I fell in love with some of the details of the plants (they’re not flowers), and decided I wanted to do smaller detail pieces as well. Given the complexity of the first painting, I thought doing one of equal size \u003ci\u003ewith \u003c\/i\u003erain drops would be too much to take on… and if I pulled it off, it might outshine its sibling. So I decided to make the last piece, with rain drops, the same height but in a narrower, vertical format. I’m glad that I did — they all go together so well!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMurasaki #6 With Rain was a challenging painting inspired by photographs of the same plant, taken a few days later following a rain storm. But great challenges yield great rewards, and I’m very happy with the way this piece turned out. I took the same approach to painting this piece as the others, with my original palette, and completed the piece as if it were “dry,” similar to Murasaki #1. I then drew the rain drops all over the leaves to paint on top, choosing not to do a white wash… because that’s just not how I paint. The lighter version of each color was mixed as a distinct hue. Each individual, partial shape was painted one at a time, creating hundreds of tiny, sharp points where shapes and colors met. In the end I achieved the effect I was hoping for, resulting in a very engaging work of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JVP Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Original \/ 24 x 38","offer_id":44918677766299,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Canvas Print \/ 24 x 38","offer_id":44918677733531,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas Print \/ 18 x 28.5","offer_id":44918677700763,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas Print \/ 12 x 19","offer_id":44918677667995,"sku":null,"price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Watercolor paper print \/ 18 x 28.5","offer_id":44918677635227,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Watercolor paper print \/ 12 x 19","offer_id":44918677602459,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Watercolor paper print \/ 9 x 12*","offer_id":48487676772507,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/9008\/5275\/files\/murasaki-_6-with-rain.jpg?v=1716357298"},{"product_id":"pink-houses-3","title":"Pink Houses #3","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Pink Houses #3\" started with a striking photograph by a friend, capturing a quiet, sun-drenched moment in the French Quarter.

Over the years, she has shared examples of botanical art with muted tones and decorative patterns she liked. While these didn't exactly align with my usual practice, they helped inform me of her tastes. During a visit to her new home in South Carolina, I saw these magnolias blooming at her sister's house and quickly caught a few photos. It occurred to me that it might be meaningful to paint two—gifting one to each sister to celebrate their bond and their coming together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough given as a surprise, I treated the project like a commission, balancing her preferences with my distinct style.
