Emerald Lagasse green with envy, watercolor by Linda Young


Watercolor
7-1/2" x 12" (double matted and framed 14x18")

The idea to make Chef Lagasse green came from our most recent members art exhibit at the Carlisle Arts Learning Center named "the Emerald Show".  Guidelines for the show were to be creative in the use of emerald.  Well, Emeril Lagasse was my choice to paint a portrait of and to paint him with green skin, naming him Emerald Lagasse.  Exaggerating this in my mind was for "Emerald Lagasse" to be the jealous brother of Emeril.  Thus the title of this piece is "Emerald Lagasse, green with envy".

Thankyou; without a sense of humor, it'd be a dull life. Best wishes to you.
