Hello, This is Megan's Blog.: Art in New Orleans

When walking down Royal street, I picked an art gallery randomly to view its contents. I never expected that I would absolutely love looking at the art. The piece that stood out to me was named “Desire in the Quarter.” I spoke to the man in charge of the Rue Toulouse art gallery and he told me that James Hussey painted this picture. He informed me that he is still living today and born in what he believed to be 1931. He spoke about how James Hussey enjoyed painting pictures of the french quarter that can run up to more than 20,000 dollars. This artist’s piece spoke me right away by capturing a picture of so a place I stood during my short time here in NOLA. I remember seeing the building and appreciating the beautiful iron work surrounding the building. This tells the story of someone like me that is seeing this building for the first time and wanting to go back to view it again. I like the story it tells, because I can relate to it directly and feel what the picture is saying. This artist’s work draws my attention with his accuracy and brilliant colors. I would enjoy viewing other pieces of art from Mr. Hussey.
