Here is a 12' x 16" acrylic painting of a poblano pepper. I completed it as a demonstration at painting class I am teaching at the Community Commitment Education Center (Leonidas and Spruce) in New Orleans. I asked the class to pick unto 3 or 4 from a pile of different types of peppers and set up their own arrangement. Now I am working on a trio of these peppers. The one below is the first acrylic painting I have been able to finish since June but I have about a dozen in process.
The best way to easily see most of my paintings for sale 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 Riccobono's Panola Street Cafe. Here is a post describing the showing at Riccobono's. It is located at 7801 Panola Street (504 314-1810). You can also contact me to see more of them. You can also find my work at the Salvadorian restaurant, La Macarena located at 8120 Hampson St, New Orleans, just off Carrolton Ave. at Riverbend. Here is a post on it: New Paintings Are for Sale at La Macarena, New Orleans.
My paintings are also for sale at the Community Commitment Center on Leonidas and Spruce. Part of the center is Stella's Cafe seen below where you can get delicious drinks and food for very reasonable prices. The proceeds go to support the excellent work of Community Commitment Center, run by Nicole Bouie, as do a portion of the sales of the paintings. The center provides classes for children and adults and other programs including a summer camp. Here is post on the show - Paintings for Sale at Community Commitment Center New Orleans.
There are also two paintings as part of the permanent collection at Red Gravy, a wonderful downtown Italian restaurant at 125 Camp Street. (504) 561-8844. Here is a post about them: Red Gravy: Great New Orleans Brunch. Our friend, Spider Murphy, plays banjo at their weekend brunches.
That's really wonderful. In the first perception, none could barely guess it as a painting. Great art!
