More Chips, Please!

More Chips, Please! is about that very specific kind of night. The one where the group text starts buzzing, someone actually secures a babysitter, and you all commit to leaving the house.

When you have little kids and your friends do too, going out isn’t casual. It’s coordinated. It’s calendar checked. It’s earned.

And when it finally happens? You don’t play it safe.

Another round of margaritas.
Yes, we’ll do the trio of dips.
And excuse me, we’re gonna need more chips.

This painting captures the kind of loud, colorful dinner that starts with “we should really do this more often” and ends with everyone talking over each other across the table. Shared plates getting passed around, empty glasses stacking up, and the feeling of finally being able to exhale for a minute.

It’s about sitting at the table and feeling like yourself again. Not just the person who keeps everything moving through hectic schedules.
Just you. Laughing. Talking too loud. Forgetting to check the time.

Because in New Orleans, gathering around a table somehow turns ordinary evenings into something memorable.

This 36x48" original oil painting features bold color, expressive brushwork, and layered movement designed to bring warmth, personality, and lively entertaining energy into a space. Its large scale makes it an ideal statement piece for dining rooms, kitchens, breakfast spaces, restaurants, wine bars, and homes designed for gathering.

The painting is wired and ready to hang with painted edges for a clean, finished look.
