Painting: Half Dozen Charbroiled Oysters

Here is a 30" x 36" acrylic painting of a half dozen tasty charboriled oysters we had at Armstong Park during one of the Jazz in the Park sessions sponsored by People United for Armstrong Park. These free events are a wonderful chance to hear NOLA music all stars and eat some delicious food. 

The best way to easily see most of my paintings for sales is to go to my Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/bill.ives2 - and look at Photos and albums within Photos. I have three photo albums covering my art. One is for discounted pairings under $100.  The other is for most of the rest (over $100). The third is for paintings that I have either sold or ones that are not for sale. However, if anyone is interested in them I will paint another version for them on commission. I will ship anywhere and have shipped art works as far as Australia.

In New Orleans there are currently paintings hanging at two of my favorite New Orleans restaurants. One is the music club with great food, Buffa's. It is open 24/7 and is located at 1001 Esplanade Ave. (504) 949-0038.  Hera is a post on the opening: My Paintings Are Up at Buffa's Backroom. The other is  Riccobono's Panola Street Cafe. Here is a post describing the showing. It is located at 7801 Panola Street (504 314-1810). You can also contact me to see more of them.

Painting: Honey Desert, Samos Greece

Here is a 16" x 20" acrylic painting of desert served at the local movie theater in Mytilini on Samos Island, Greece. I spent 5 weeks there in August and September. You can see more Greek paintings in the right side bar categories.

The movie theater is in a walled garden so you see the stars above you while watching th emovie. They have tables with the chairs and serve food and drinks during the movie with two intermissions. During the second intermission these beignet style pastries with honey, called Lukomates, are offered on a complementary basis.

Painting of Sea Cliffs on a Greek Island

I am back from spending some time in Mytilini, a mountian village in the island of Samos, Greece. Samos is located a mile off the Turkish coast. Here is a 16" x 20" arcylic paining of the cliffs that run down to the sea on the south side of the island.
