Desire

It was NOT done.  I think this is better. 

Streetcar named Desire

I found this great slate at Michaels and finally got the nerve to try to paint a streetcar on it.  If you have been to Jackson square, you know, slate says New Orleans.  After watching a great lesson about perspective on you-tube, this version is much better.

I've painted this same shot here and in another art journal so, decided it was time to jump into the slate thing, even though this page is not done. 

New Orleans water meter

I have had this slate on my desk for weeks trying to figure out something to put on it to remind me of my trip to New Orleans last summer.  While showing my husband the new flickr format I realized I had the art already done!  Cut it out of my watercolor mandala journal and mounted it.  LOVE IT!  Instant art.  Well almost, Buster was napping and the journal was in the tansu and he hates when I open the drawers.  I had to wait almost an hour while he finished his nap.
