Beads & Blooms on the Hitching Post

Beads & Blooms on the Hitching Post is a 15x30" original acrylic painting that celebrates the magic of New Orleans tradition and color. Inspired by the iconic black horse-head hitching posts found throughout the French Quarter, this piece captures the joy of stumbling upon these beloved landmarks adorned with Mardi Gras beads and blooms from Carnival revelers.

Painted in rich layers of heavy-body acrylic with vibrant purples, golds, and greens, this one-of-a-kind piece brings together history, celebration, and beauty in every brushstroke. The long, vertical format makes Beads & Blooms on the Hitching Post a striking statement piece, perfect for entryways, hallways, narrow wall spaces, or above a console where vertical scale and bold texture can truly shine.

A celebration of French Quarter charm, Mardi Gras spirit, and New Orleans street culture, this painting is designed for collectors who are drawn to vibrant color, rich texture, Southern storytelling, and art that radiates joy and captures a moment in time.

Painted on a 1.5" gallery-wrapped canvas with finished edges.
