"Deeply Southern Winter"

"Deeply Southern Winter"
By: Mary C. Aikens, Artist

This is a picture of a couple of Camelia bushes in front of a column durning the winter months in Mobile, Alabama and along the entire "Deep South" region.  It is usual that the majority of Winter months have somewhat warm days in Mobile, Alabama that flowers start to bloom around February and/or March.  This view was taken from the driveway facing side of the front porch at my parents' former house.

After The Ball (A Mardi Gras-related painting)

Hey Everybody,

Guess what big event around is "around the corner" along the Gulf Coast region?  It's Mardi Gras!  Here is a painting that has the items that depict Mardi Gras especially after one of the balls.  I have already re-posted it on YardSellr tonight.  I did this picture about eighteen years ago when both my husband and I lived in Mobile, Alabama as better known as the "Mother of The Mystics".
