Rhythm of the River: A New Orleans Celebration

This vibrant artwork captures the heartbeat of New Orleans through bold color pencil strokes and lively details. A jazz musician stands front and center, lost in the soulful notes of his trumpet, while the Mississippi River glows beneath the paddleboat’s warm lights. Surrounding him are bursts of Mardi Gras colors — beads, masks, lanterns, and festive banners — blending into the iconic architecture of the French Quarter. The piece brings together music, culture, and movement, showing New Orleans as a place where every corner sings, dances, and tells a story.
