Born, raised and currently a resident and business owner in Gretna, Keith has experienced the change and growth of this great city over his 55 years. This painting, with so many details, is indicative of Gretna. A visitor will never get to experience and appreciate all that there is to see in just one visit-just as you won't see all the icons strategically placed in his poster design.
