[Stephan Hoffpauir, 2405 Broadway, New Orleans, Watercolor/Paper, 35.5 x 24 inches, Framed: 42.5 x 30.5 inches.]
An exhibition of photo-realist watercolor paintings of New Orleans from Stephan Hoffpauir, the architect-turned-fine artist, just opened at Cole Pratt Gallery and continues through April 25, 2010. The opening reception is scheduled for Saturday, April 3 from 6 to 8 p.m. Ready for a little after-work drink on that porch?

For the screened porch sofa, how about this oh-so-lovely embroidered pillow designed by New Orleans artist Shelley Hesse? Click here to see all of the Hesse offerings at Anthropologie. The charcoal pillow is yet another thing that reminds me of Mrs. Delany and Her Circle.

Oh yay! Congratulations to Stephan! He was my color rendering professor last semester! Stephan teaches in San Francisco, and because it would be weird/creepy for me to show up in New Orleans for his show, I encourage those living there to please attend in my place.
I love his work...There is a fine line between Art & Design. He does both so beautifully. Lovely post.
What exacting work, incredible watercolor.

That is amazing! Looks like a photograph... wow!
These are two beautiful finds. I wonder as an architect if Stephan Hoffpauir sticks with buildings as subjects? Interiors too maybe?
le style at matiere, yes stephan renders interiors as well. specifically, he was my watercolor and color pencil rendering professor in the interior design department.
he's absolutely the best at it!
