The Shadows have an historical connection to this style of art. Two members of the Weeks family who lived at Shadows-on-the Teche left their paintings for us to view.
William Weeks Hall made this possible by donating his home to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which opened the site to the public in 1961. Hall was an artist and photographer and his grandmother, Mary Palfrey Weeks, painted beautiful flowers in water color.
In a 1920s photograph, Hall can be seen with two of his artist friends painting in the Shadows front gardens on Main Street. Now, the house and gardens will resume their role as subjects for new artists.
