Expanding on Art in New Orleans

One of my favorite parts of New Orleans was their amazing art galleries. I loved the art galleries so much that I wanted to expand further on what I have seen. When going into the first art gallery, it had art pieces very spread out. You could view several art pieces by one artist and see several other pieces by another artist. One of the most memorable pieces was that of the building at Royal and St. Peter Street. I stood and looked at this picture for at least 2-3 minutes and returned to look at it again. This piece by James Hussey. I previously wrote about this piece and I wanted to write about another piece I enjoyed viewing by Lisa Corbiere. One of the men that worked at the art gallery Rue Toulouse informed me that Corbiere is from Finland and has many pieces that look similar but are very different. Corbiere's piece sets the scene for a day at the beach gazing at the ocean as boats going by. It made me feel as if I was laying on the warm beach enjoying vacation. The way art made me feel was very surprising. If I wouldn't have went to New Orleans, I may have never experienced art that really makes me day dream and think.
