MARDI GRAS
These images include recent shots from the latest 2024 season, with images from 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023 as well. One or two “house floats” from the cancelled 2021 season are also below. Many utilize color enhancement, in particular heightened saturation. A variety of digital filters have been used to create different visual effects. This section includes three works originally printed on vinyl, which I call “banners.” They are: The Patroness of New Orleans, Gator & Skulls and Zulu Parade #2.. Most are available through the Shore or by contacting me at mpreble@verizon.net.
