Selling My Paintings in Pirate's Alley New Orleans

I am now painting on on Pirate's Alley and Royal Street and offering some of my paintings for sale. You can see one day's location on Royal Street below. Where you are depends on how early you get there as there are no reserved spots. 

   
Also I am able to paint while hanging out there. You can see the set up below. I am able to use a box as a table. It is great place to paint as there is plenty of quality music on the street. A great trad jazz band plays one block away at the corner of Royal and St. Peter. There are also other musicians nearby. I have seen four second lines pass by with brass bands. One was led by the Pinettes, an all female band. So come down and enjoy the music and art.

New Paintings Up at Buffa's New Orleans

My painting show at Buffa’s has been held over for several weeks. I recently added five new paintings to the show. They include portraits of Irma Thomas, Al Johnson, and John Boutte, as well as a half dozen oysters from Felix’s before and after they were eaten.

  

I added the new paintings while attending the Sunday jazz brunch with the excellent band, Some Like It Hot. Here is a video of the band and my work.

  

Not only is the music great at Buffa’s, but they have excellent food at reasonable prices. While I was there we had a breakfast with two eggs over easy, biscuit and there honey praline ham. We also had a redfish with rice and vegetables as shown below.
