Artist Warren Keating hopes his contemporary figuratie paintings inspire the viewer to slow down and rediscover the poetry and beauty in the everyday. This painting was inspired by a view from a Bourbon Street balcony of street musicians playing in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Using his signature, expressive style, Keating rendered the movement of the figures and texture of the moment. Thick brush strokes indicate motion while Keating's unique aerial perspective makes the painting semi-abstract. The rich surface is protected by a satin varnish. With finished edges and wired on the back, this painting is ready to hang.
