This painting is based on a photograph from a trip to New Orleans. The comings and goings of New Orleans housekeepers.
Original pencil sketch is also available.
I was graciously invited in to see a home that was converted to a very nice hotel. These ladies are beautiful to me. Besides their graciousness, I sensed they were completely content with their job. I also loved how bright white their socks, shoes, and aprons were. I wanted to capture all of this and I think that I did.
At least one more version of this painting is in mind to paint.
