It's called Alligator Fisher and I'm thinking about getting because it reminds me of my cajun heritage, most of my family is from Louisiana.I have loved folk art paintings since I was a child. She favors animal prints, and I found one that depicts leopards and gave it to her for her birthday. It is done in vibrant colors and also depicts the buildings in the market like an ice cream parlor and the Hotel Van Nuys. She looked so relaxed, that I could imagine what it felt like to lie there myself. It's pretty funny to me that when we were growing up, she'd cry because she wasn't allowed to play football with the boys and I used to tease her relentlessly and pull her pigtails whenever I got the chance. It's of a swamp house on a bayou and has a Louisiana feel to it. When she died, she left me the painting and it hangs in a place of honor over my fireplace mantle. Still, they are a joy to behold. The painting that has touched me the most features a sad little girl and is called A Letter From My Mother.
