Original artwork description
I came across this some years ago in the suburbs of New Orleans; the crocodile head stands at the entrance to a huge warehouse full of old Mardi Gras floats called Mardi Gras World. I hope of course that it is still there as I believe this area suffered badly when hurricane Katrina hit. The area is full of interesting buildings, many of which are Shotgun Shacks which may be the subject for a future painting. I painted it with a complementary colour scheme of yellow/violet, trying to lose the crocodile head tonally within the dark area of the picture so that you don't immediately spot the anomalous head.

About
Although my work is diverse in subject matter there is a common thread that runs through it all, an obsession with colour and mood. Whether it is a landscape, still... Read more
