Pitot House Watercolor 9 x 12 inches This fabulous home is one of the few colonial West Indies style homes in Louisiana. It was built in 1799 on historic Bayou St. John. The Pitot House is the only Creole colonial country house open to the public. It tells the story of life along the bayou since the earliest days of settlement, and has had a variety of prominent owners, most notably James Pitot, the first mayor of New Orleans after the city's incorporation. who lived here from 1810-1819. In 1964, the Pitot House was moved to save it from demolition. The home has been restored by the Louisiana Landmarks Society. Its construction consists of stucco-covered, brick-between-post, and double-pitched hipped roof. The house has been furnished with Louisiana and American antiques. Additionally, the home features a parterre garden reminiscent of the 19th century. This watercolor painting measures 9 x 12 inches with a half inch border. It is signed.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I've been painting seriously for over ten years. Prior to that I designed tropical jewelry and created mosaic art. I enjoy producing work that I'm passionate about, the kind of work I’d rather keep than sell, work that’s painful to part with! Lol, but, I have pulled pieces off my walls for customers who just have to have them! That’s when I know I found the right owner!!! I paint mainly with oils....I love the richness and texture; however, I often switch to watercolors which I especially enjoy finishing with pen and ink! I’ve started painting in oil pastels last year! I love the unique textures and diverse look that each medium offers! I've also started creating batiks in the last two years. My inspirations vary, but one of my main themes is New Orleans life...enchanting courtyards and fountains, Pat O’Briens drinks, Louisiana cuisine, tropical landscapes, and historical architecture. I also paint seascapes; North Louisiana cotton bolls and fields; exotic hotels and pools, and portraits of Warhol and Liberace! Just whatever the mood strikes at the time! I completed a juicy house portrait that was very difficult to part with when I finally finished! I picked on that painting over 6 months and loved how it turned out!!! Lol! On particularly challenging days, I engage in Expressionist paintings that I refer to as my “crazy art” or “art therapy,” expressing what it feels like to struggle as an artist! Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy browsing my work! Please support artists....we are definitely abnormal, and like Van Gogh, we can always use the money! Kristi
