This week I did a street scene from our trip to New Orleans this summer. We passed this little alley way and I thought it was very intriguing. Rainy days may not be good for traveling, but they sure make for a nice painting:) I'm gearing up for an exhibit in New Orleans, thought this would get me in the mood!
I also want to thank all of my followers, and regular viewers. Last week I climbed from 33 to 60, Amazing! I think it is terrific and am thrilled to have you following my blog. Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments, I feel so loved:)

Steven has been really into coloring lately. I think because his teacher is constantly telling him how good he is at it. So this week he did a great drawing on newsprint. Interestingly he keeps tearing pieces of it off, maybe a collage in his future, hmmm?
Last, but not least, my friend Crystal Cook is having a terrific contest. Check out her blog
here, you will definitely want to enter, and when you do, make sure to tell her I sent you:)
Oooh I love that painting Carrie! It really has such a great rainy day feel :):) BEAUTIFUL!! You've got the perspective just dead on too, that's impressive, buildings can be tricky that way. (For me anyways:)
