#1335_Nightime scene at Palm Court

This one-of-a-kind unframed original pencil, ink and watermedia painting was created by New Orleans artist Emilie Rhys on June 1, 2012, during a live music performance at the Palm Court Jazz Café.

The marvelous triple-arched bar was fashioned after one seen in Singapore by the owners of Palm Court. Since the stage is located directly opposite the bar--with many dining tables in between--many people sit at the bar facing out once the music has begun, as seen in this drawing.

While most of the artist's live-music drawings are completed on the spot in the venue, some receive additional work, and in this case the paint was added at the artist's French Quarter art studio.
