Here is the process of how I created this original painting of
a Louisiana Kitchen
Sketch for "Louisiana Kitchen
|
|
Sculpture part of the process
|
All major items are sculpted: hanging
garlic, old Louisiana wood shutter, crab, peppers, okra, celery,
gumbo bowl, shrimp, hot sauce bottle, and bayou shopping list.
My next step is to start the painting of the bayou out the kitchen
window. The colors of the bayou will help determine the colors that
I will use in the rest of the painting. |
The painting is underway
|
I let the colors in the blue
crab and the bayou dictate the tone of the painting. I did the crab
first, then the bayou. Then I block in my colors and shadows. I work
from light to dark, which is the opposite of most painters.
Items that have the most flexibility in color are finished last. For
instance, the bell pepper on the back ledge next to the bayou can be
green, red or orange,The "To Do" shopping
list on the right (of which my life has many), has turned a phrase
into a "VooDoo list (being a Louisiana painting and a fun play on
words) |

This original work of art
is a sculpture as well as a painting!
All the kitchen elements were sculpted in low relief before being
painting in pure egg tempera.
This art work was painted in many layers of egg tempera made from natural ground stones and egg yolk. Linda Paul uses lapis lazuli, malachite and ochers from ancient mines in Provence France to make her paint. read more about the French ochre mines
Frame:
Louisiana Kitchen is framed in a 3" museum quality hand-crafted,
solid wood frame. Frame is hand-finished in a lightly textured plaster &
egg tempera by the artist.

Artist's Inspiration: I had an idea to do a New Orleans art series inspired by a Louisiana kitchen & down home southern cooking. I really wanted to have the feel of a kitchen on the bayou. The "To Do" shopping list on the right (of which my life has many), has turned a phrase into a "voodoo" list (being a Louisiana painting and a fun play on words)
Customer Comments
I received my artwork yesterday, Table for Two, IT LOOKS FABULOUS in my kitchen. It gives it the perfect Italian touch. My husband wasn't happy that I spent the money on artwork but when it arrived he absolutely loved it. He said the colors are so vibrant unique and that I should have ordered a bigger size. I've already told my family all about your website. I've been on your website everyday because I'm anxious to order more of your AWESOME paintings for the rest of my house. I've never been so excited about a painting before! Thank you, Bridget Marlett,

Just wanted to say that I love my piece. It has certain elements that make me dream of my future. I thank God for your talent, and for the opportunity to have one of your paintings. Most sincerely, Shantel
