Description
Giclee Watercolor print of Mardi Gras bead- jewel tree- New Orleans. A companion piece to the crepe myrtle without blooms. For those that love the city where even the trees dress up & sparkle. "New Orleans doesn't have treasures the way an Uptown lady has pearls & jewelry. They are not superfluous extravagances. Instead, our treasures are like the body's beating heart or morning coffee: they are essential, & the city would not live without them. You can sit on your porch & watch the world's most amazing theatre of people talking, yelling, dancing, & eating, set against our amazing vernacular buildings & among our magnolias, crepe myrtles, swamp lilies, & Louisiana Irises. You are part of that theatre, & you talk to people as they pass, smell the sweet jasmine & sweet olive in the air, & hear trains & boats from the river. You do not need to leave your porch to find treasures here." - Billy Sothern Can be printed larger upon request. New Orleans Mardi Gras Tree in Bloom - Crepe Myrtle - Print
