On a recent spring visit to New Orleans, I previously concentrated my painting to the colorful Bourbon Street area. Here somewhat off the beaten tract were many historic homes uniquely designed for the French Quarter and the surrounding neighborhood.  The play of the light and shadow on this delightful pink house coupled with the distinctly draped patterns of the wisteria drew my eye.  Let's face it how many times does the opportunity roll around to use such pinks and lavenders!
