Little Royal of Mardi Gras

This artwork captures the true spirit of Mardi Gras through the eyes of a child crowned in festive feathers and carnival colors. The bold mask, inspired by classic Mardi Gras traditions, symbolizes mystery, joy, and celebration, while the closed eyes reflect calm pride amid the lively chaos of the season. Rich purples, greens, and golds dance across the textured background, echoing parades, music, and the soulful rhythm of New Orleans. The piece celebrates innocence wrapped in royalty, honoring Mardi Gras as both a cultural legacy and a joyful expression passed from one generation to the next.
