Violet

Many years ago my family used to gather in New Orleans to visit my Brother, who was attending Tulane, and partake in the joi de vivre that only the Crescent City offers. One particular evening we dined at The Upperline Restaurant and sat in the yellow dining room. In the corner near my seat was a trio of Bulldog portraits adding to the unique character of New Orleans. It was by far one of BEST meals and evenings ever. We returned many times to Upperline and were greeted warmly by the Lautrec-esq Proprietrice and the Bulldogs; great meals and even greater memories with Family took place in those dining rooms.

This Bulldog is Violet - delicate and demure! I have a feeling you will see this subject again. I enjoyed painting Violet and sharing the memory. (14"x11" oil on canvas). I welcome feedback - would you hang it in your home? ~NEXT
