Lulu Ameen
"Sciamera Produce" - Framed New Orleans French Quarter Impressionist Watercolor

About the Item

An evocative watercolor that really captures the "old New Orleans" feeling. Much of the French Quarter still looks this way. In fact, this is a painting of an "Italian grocery" of the sort that still exists in New Orleans, stocking exotic goods from Italy. Many don't know that much of the New Orleans population is made up of Irish and Italians who came down in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from the East Coast; in fact, they're the source of the New Orleans "yat" accent you hear everywhere. There's this misconception that New Orleanians have a southern or "Cajun" accent; not true. What you hear is a bit of the Bronx, mostly! At any rate, back to the painting - lovely earth tones and deft draftsmanship to sketch out the shoppers and goods at shop level of these 19th-century buildings, which are still here, make this a wonderful memento of the "Big Easy." Expensively framed and ready to hang. Image itself is 13" x 21". 21" x 30", framed. Proudly presented by Guy Lyman Fine Art, New Orleans, with our firm guarantee of satisfaction.

    Canyon Country by Lu Haskew Pastel 16x20" image size Landscape view of the Grand Canyon ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...
