Strolling Along Bourbon St.

Here's another picture that I did for the New Orleans class. I found this location on Google Street view. I spent about an hour looking up and down streets for something that caught my eye. I think that I was in the wrong neighborhood. After I finished this I found some really pretty houses. Oh well! When I pick a subject to paint I'm usually looking for a challenge, something to get me out of my comfort zone. I liked this because of the doors, the shadow and the balconies. It was a challenge! My favorite thing in the painting is the window with the bars. I just painted the negative spaces and the bars magically appeared!
