Original Artwork
Examples of original pieces by Louisa Shows
Fauv-ish Feline
Acrylic on Canvas
This painting was completed primarily using palette knives and saturated hues to create depth and interest.
The inspiration was the side profile view of a cat's eye when focused on prey, which is referenced in the feather-like textured background, accented with gold.
Little Eddy
Acrylic on Canvas
The name Little Eddy is a play on words naming both the duckling pictured and the swirls of cool, clear water carrying him downstream.
Summer Citrus
Watercolor
In Summer Citrus, Louisa uses bright colors and fun shapes to evoke the lighthearted essence of a pool day in July.
Natchez Series
Watercolor & Digital Artwork
Inspired by the artist's hometown of Natchez, MS

A project in progress - uniting traditional symbols and astrology for a really vibe-y interpretation of each month of the year.
Sangria

A sister work to Summer Citrus, this gouache study of oranges, lemons and limes floating on a wine-red background
