Lula Ameen 1921-1992
Continental Produce (New Orleans French Quarter)
Watercolor
23 x 30 in
SOLD
(Sorry for the reflections on the glass - didn't want to disassemble this nice frame.) 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 a grocery of the sort that still exists in New Orleans, stocking exotic goods from Italy. Lovely earth tones and deft draftsmanship make this a wonderful memento of the "Big Easy." Expensively framed and ready to hang. Image itself is 14" x 22". 23" x 30", framed. I have others in this series should you wish to purchase 2 or 3 as a set to hang together.
Lula Ameen was born in Raceland, Louisiana and earned a B.A and M.A at Nicholls State University while teaching art at Raceland High School and Raceland Junior High. She then taught at Nicholls for 17 years, and their art gallery is named in her honor. She is known for her delicate and evocative watercolors of New Orleans.
