About the work

A closer look.

Name the place and the hour. Not the postcard hour. The one you keep. A kitchen at five in the morning. The levee at dusk when the light goes copper. A street you left at an hour you can still see behind your eyes. I paint hour by hour, mostly in New Orleans: the Quarter, the river, the doorways, the cemetery at noon. Twenty-six canvases so far, and not one of them forced. Send me your hour and I answer first, free: the light I would use, and the one detail I would refuse to lose. That read is yours whether or not you order. If it holds, I paint it: one image of your hour, made to order, delivered within three days as a high-resolution file yours to print, keep or give. Two revisions included. If I see no painting in what you send, I say so plainly and nothing is owed. A face you carry works too, as long as there is an hour in it. $25. We agree on the piece first. The card link comes after, and nothing charges until you choose to pay.
