The entrance lobby to the Governor's Mansion opens on a beautiful Louisiana setting captured on canvas in an original mural painted by Auseklis Ozols. Depicting scenery from the four corners or the state, this work of art took the artist six months to complete, working only on weekends. Hidden discreetly in the cabin of a shrimp boat, lurks Blaze Starr, stripper, girlfriend of Louisiana's 1950's ungovernable governor Earl K Long brother of Huey Long. The relationship was featured in the Paul Newman movie Blaze. Check out the fishing boat in the mural lifting cargo onboard. Look carefully and you will see the cargo is actually a cleverly painted thermostat. In the second photo you can see the general scope of the murals.
