Welcome to the J.Risbourg Online Art Gallery
Live Paintings / Studio Art
"I am a New Orleans artist inspired by the culture of the city, the sounds & lyrics of its musicians, & the charm of its architecture & greenery. My lifelong ambition has been to contribute in a significant way to the local creative community, and live music painting has given me a pathway. I'm very grateful for this opportunity and hope you enjoy the paintings. Thank you."

"At such times there is a song going on within us, a song to which we listen. It fills us with surprise. We marvel at it. We would continue to hear it. But few are capable of holding themselves in the state of listening to their own song. Intellectuality steps in and as the song within us is of the utmost sensitiveness, it retires in the presence of the cold, material intellect. It is aristocratic and will not associate itself with the commonplace- and we fall back and become our ordinary selves. Yet we live in the memory of these songs which in moments of intellectual inadvertence have been possible to us. They are the pinnacles of our experience and it is the desire to express these intimate sensations, this song from within, which motivates the masters of all art."

Hello!
Do you have an upcoming event or concert that would benefit from including a live painter? I'd love to hear about it! Live paintings are also an incredible gift for loved ones celebrating a special day and contribute as both entertainment and an irreplaceable memento.
