The making of a French Quarter painting
I have been stealing away time from commissions to work on some art inspired by our recent trip to the French Quarter. I've working on a series of small pieces of homes on or near Esplanade. Here's a montage of a couple of pieces.

Newest Art, Sunflowers and New Orleans
Gosh - I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've posted anything. So sorry! I HAVE been busy creating, tho, and sold another dachshund painting. Oh, and if you want to have your own mardi gras dachshund painting, I JUST created an Etsy listing that gives you the option to customize your painting. Check out the link on the sidebar and check it out.
I LOVE New Orleans art. I love creating it. I love dreaming up new scenes. This is my latest piece. It's called "Mardi Gras Night", and depicts a huge French Quarter window with the view of the St. Louis Cathedral. And, yes, I included a little dachshund in the painting. It's 24" x 30" and it's for one of my collectors. It will actually hang at their apartment in the French Quarter, 2 blocks from the Cathedral. I'd love to hear your comments on it. Do you think I should do a series of paintings like this? Ideas...I can feel 'em coming!
And here is one more summer painting - one of my favorite flowers - sunflowers! It's a mixed media collage. It's 24" x 30" and it's listed in my Etsy store.
And next week I'll be getting a huge surge of inspiration for more paintings. I'm going to spend next weekend in the French Quarter. The smells, the sights and the sounds! Gosh - It's going to be overwhelming. I can't wait. Have a wonderful week and check back soon!

French Quarter Shotgun House No. 205
New for 2009! "French Quarter Shotgun House No. 205"!
Original fUnKy New Orleans Painting. This is a continuation of my FuNkY New Orleans French Quarter Street Scenes. Bright! Vivid! Fun! You know you just gotta have one!
If you’ve been to the French Quarter – you’ve seen these cute little houses lines up in rows just blocks from some of the jazziest restaurants and clubs in New Orleans. The title “205” indicates the ficticious house number, and does not imply that this is the 205th painting in the series (although I’m getting close but not counting). This gallery-wrapped (that means staple-free sides!) stretched canvas is 12x16 with ¾” deep sides. Sides are painted black for modern unframed hanging. Although attempts have been made to capture image of original, colors in image may appear lighter or darker than original, especially between different monitors.Painting is unframed. Feel free to e‑mail me with any questions.
Available at Etsy right now. SOLD!!! No longer available.
