New Orleans Art Outer Journey

Walking down the gorgeous street of Bienville, a bright red sign catches my eye. The sun hitting the bright red almost hurts your eyes to look at. The red sign says Michalopoulos. A famous New Orleans artist who I was very intrigued to see. The bright sun is gleaming into the clear wide windows, showcasing the artsy inside of the small gallery. Walking through the rustic wood doorway, my eyes get swooped away by vibrant colors standing out off the white wooden walls. The walls are filled with such distinct paintings that give the feel that you are swaying sideways with the paintings. People are drawn into the creativity of all the art standing out in the small room. Strangers faces light up with amusement and happiness while being captivated by the beauty in such art. The large square windows are wide open, letting the sun beams and warmth into the gallery. I become lost in this specific scene of an old historic house in the cool night. The captivating moon above the house gives off the beauty and mystery of the night sky. The curved sidewalk around the house gives the painting such depth. The brush strokes and color usage in the painting creates a confused feeling that makes it more real and authentic. I get lost in this painting, pretending that I am sitting on the long white balcony, looking out at the sunset and the strangers walking the streets of New Orleans.
