Revising Bourbon Street Painting

Another new painting in acrylics – or rather a redof an older one that never really satisfied me. The subjects were actually performing in the street in New Orleans in front of a jazz band.

White Dancer in the Forest

A little on the sentimental and nostalgic side! I don’t know anyone who runs through the woods in a long white dress. Size 24×48
