"Ah, The Mysteries of a Southern Night"

This work by William R. Hollingsworth captured my attention yesterday at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. I invited a friend from Dominican High School, the class of 1966, to view this exhibit with me.

I soaked up this image. It drew me in just as the nights of New Orleans do. I came home after 10 P.M. Thursday night to the wavering scent of night blooming jasmine from my neighbor's fence. The night was very warm and the scent seems to be infested with a late night intensity.

I felt the same sense penetrate the air at the Ogden during the day-light hours while feasting on these images. There are several inviting displays. Check it out for yourself.

What is your favorite work?
