Shotgun in pink

29 x 24 inches, acrylic on wood, Handcrafted 3D

This piece highlights the playful vibrancy of a classic New Orleans shotgun house. The façade is painted in a lively pink with turquoise accents, paired with tall, narrow windows fitted with wooden shutters that open outward. A single wooden door sits to the left, balanced by ironwork details and a decorative lantern between the entry and the windows.

At the base of the house, two terracotta planters with lush green foliage add warmth and symmetry, grounding the composition. To the right, a neighboring bright yellow house peeks into the frame, reinforcing the lively, colorful spirit of the city’s architecture. Overhead, the sloped green shingle roof and dotted cornice details give the house character, while the blue sky and scattered white clouds create an airy backdrop.

Bold outlines, rhythmic shutter patterns, and cheerful palette capture not only the architecture but also the joyful personality of New Orleans streetscapes, where every house has its own unique color story.
