| I go to New Orleans to photograph and sketch, but we always make time to enjoy all the things that make this city so special: soaking up the atmosphere of the centuries old buildings, immersing ourselves in the some of the best music in the world, and don't forget the gumbo and shrimp creole! We checked out the Chartres Street Gallery which will open in about a month (and will have my work on display). It is gorgeous, and I'm honored to be a part of this new venture! We took the streetcar to Mulate's Restaurant in the warehouse district, walked down sparkling Fulton Street at night, and had a Sunday brunch at Amelies Courtyard which was all organic, and I might add, delicious. This time, I spent a lot of time photographing in the Marigny neighborhood, and plan to paint this area soon. Our visit was special this time thanks to an artist friend, Sherry, who spent an afternoon with us, showing us around and relating her Katrina experience. She, like countless New Orleans natives, is indomitable.....restoring her home in Uptown and capturing the city with her wonderful photographs. For those of you who live in the South, Bed, Bath and Beyond will be offering more of my New Orleans prints this year. |

who send me encouragement and welcome us when we come to New Orleans. You always make us feel at home, and your support makes this artist's life so full. - Diane |
