Artist Comments
A colorful scene of a carnival in Rochester, Minnesota, with two young people strapped into their seats waiting for the ride to start. "I love the tawdry splendor of gaudy carnival attractions," says artist Leroy Burt. "Flashing lights and bright colors. One often sees the most unlikely combinations of people who might never meet except during those moments when they sit next to each other on rides."

About the Artist
Artist Leroy Burt paints playful, offbeat landscapes and portraits based on his experiences living in Milwaukee, New York, Costa Rica, and currently Rochester, Minnesota. "I think of my paintings as short stories," he says. As a young child, Leroy faced a number of obstacles. His parents divorced when he was four years old and he was raised by his grandparents in a three-room shack without running water or electricity. Leroy worked hard to pull himself out of poverty. He studied graphic design and painting, which led to a 30-year career in graphic design - five years at WMVS, the PBS television station in Milwaukee, fifteen years at city hall in Milwaukee, and ten years at WNET, the PBS station in New York. In 2015, Leroy retired to focus his energy on painting. Today, he works from a tiny studio filled with half-finished paintings stacked against every wall. "There are photos and sketches for future paintings taped everywhere," says Leroy. "My windows are filled with orchids. There are books, films and music CDs in every corner. And the room is dominated by a black and silver Andy Warhol silkscreen print of Marilyn Monroe."

Julien Nemethy (b. 1948) New Orleans Packet – Eclipse, 1999 Oil on canvas Sight: 22 x 28 in.; Frame: 26 x 32 in. Julien Nemethy’s New Orleans Packet – Eclipse is a richly detailed and atmospheric tribute to the golden age of American river travel, rendered with the artist’s characteristic precision and historical sensitivity. Set against a softly illuminated shoreline, the steamboat Eclipse emerges as both a technological marvel and a cultural emblem, its tiered decks, plume of smoke, and bustling activity captured with documentary clarity. Nemethy’s controlled palette—warm umbers, riverine blues, and the glow of late‑day light—infuses the composition with a sense of nostalgia, transforming the vessel into a symbol of movement, commerce, and the romance of the Mississippi. A superb example of the artist’s mature work, the painting demonstrates his ability to merge narrative realism with painterly refinement, offering a scene that is at once historically grounded and visually compelling. Provenance: Private collection, United States. Condition: The canvas presents in excellent overall condition with strong surface integrity and no visible restoration under normal viewing. Notes: Nemethy’s riverboat...
