This painting was inspired by enthusiasm and love. My son and his beautiful bride married in New Orleans in October. Immediately after the ceremony we enjoyed a New Orleans tradition, The Second Line. The Bride and Groom, wedding guests, neighbors and a marching band paraded and danced around the neighborhood. It was absolute joy. I wanted to preserve the moment. I needed to paint this. I thought I would use a French Impressionist style to reflect the city’s culture. A photo
