Description

Sadly, Mr Okra passed away on Thursday, Feb. 15, 2018. Thank you for the memories and Rest in Peace, Mr. Okra.

This painting was inspired by so much, mostly by the iconic Mr. Okra of New Orleans. He was one of the last singing/roving produce vendors carrying on the tradition started by his father in the 1930's. I have always visited him at Jazzfest and to buy what I need. His truck is painted by the artist 'Dr. Bob' Shaffer, who is famous for his 'BE NICE or LEAVE!' SIGNS AND VERY COOL ART!
After moving to New Zealand in 2005 from South Carolina, I tried to grow okra in my garden for several years but it isn't quite hot enough. Last year our friend John decided to grow okra in his greenhouses, 5,000 plants and how beautiful they are!
So it is good music, good friends and good food that inspire me and many thanks to all the gardeners, farmers and especially produce vendors like Mr. Okra.
