This painting was done shortly after the movie "Crazy in Alabama" was filmed in downtown Houma, Louisiana. The movie, directed by Antonio Banderas & starring his wife, Melanie Griffith, was set in the early 1960's & called for some retrograding of Houma's main street. Part of that process included the painting of this prominent billboard, advertising Smoky Row's fried chicken & coca-cola ®.

This unruly -- yet beguiling & beloved -- woody vine, of showy purplish flowers, runs amuck in many a grand mère's yard.

Abandoned in the late 1960s, this house of worship once played a center role in the lives of African-Americans in Lafourche Parish.

This sepia toned painting (in the intaglio / etched style) was created based upon a compilation of photographs taken by the artist in 2002.

"Krewes" are groups that create elaborate costumes & floats for the many Mardi Gras parades in the two weeks leading up to “Fat Tuesday” (the day before Ash Wednesday & the beginning of the Lenten Season for Catholics.) Krewes participate in the parades & hold balls during the carnival season, which lasts from Christmas up to Mardi Gras itself. "Krewe" is only an imitation of an old-fashioned spelling of crew in its standard meaning, but the word, thanks to its association with Mardi Gras, has taken on some of the mystique of the carnival. This piece was designed for sale as a poster in the gift shop of the National Park Service Jean Lafitte System. It incorporates the towns & associated krewes for this particular region:
