Art on Royal

While walking down Royal St. we stumbled upon Sutton Galleries. In the front window a beautiful painting of a tree painted by Isabelle Dupuy. Isabelle was born in France. She is inspired by her favorite artists Claude Monet and Van Gogh.  Her artwork is of nature and landscapes. They are full of beautiful color and textures. Each photo in the gallery attracts the eye because they are so beautifully colored. When you step closer to the paintings you realize how textured they are. She builds the paint up so much that it gives it a 3D appearance. I enjoy her paintings because of the bright colors and the paintings are of nature.  They are simple yet so unique and magnificent.  Her paintings have a very bright and cheerful feel to them. They seem very feminine to me because of the beauty they contain. Especially the ones of flowers. I think I was most drawn to the gallery at first because the first painting I saw was of a tree in the fall time. It had all the rich warm colors of fall and it was intriguing because of the obvious texture it had. This painting makes me think of freedom and peacefulness because of the beautiful open fields and woods in the paintings. It reminds me of the history of New Orleans and the slaves and the freedom and peace they yearned for.
