In the original oil painting "La Puerta Azul," the viewer is transported to a sunlit street scene with rustic adobe buildings, capturing the essence of the Southwest. The focal point of this artwork is the vivid blue door, as implied by the name, which stands out against the earthy tones of the adobe structures. Bright sunlight bathes the scene in its warm glow, evoking a sense of warmth and authenticity.

This painting, created by artist Jessop, draws its inspiration from New Mexico in the Southwest, where both Jessop and Shannon once lived. It beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the region, with its unique architecture and the brilliant, unrelenting sun. "La Puerta Azul" is a testament to their shared experiences and Jessop's portrayal of the vivid beauty of this culturally rich and sun-soaked landscape.
