Elegant Shotgun House

28 x 24 inches, acrylic on wood , Handcrafted 3D
This painting captures the charm of a classic New Orleans shotgun house façade. The composition centers on a pair of tall, narrow French doors with dark wooden shutters, set against pale peach siding. Above them, a lavender awning with decorative brackets adds a splash of color and architectural detail.

The scene is framed with lush greenery, trees and vines rising on either side while two potted topiary plants in golden clay pots flank the steps, softening the symmetry of the entrance. The wooden porch, iron fence in the foreground, and stone path on the ground complete the scene, grounding it in the warm, historic character of New Orleans neighborhoods.

My painting style emphasizes bold outlines, rich color contrasts, and simplified forms, giving the piece a lively, almost storybook quality. The result is both nostalgic and vibrant, a celebration of the city’s architectural heritage.
