Jackson Square...New Orleans


Jackson Square
Originally uploaded by Tommy the Artist.
Jackson Square is a watercolor painting of the heart of New Orleans. I took a photograph on a recent trip to the City which I used to compose the painting. I will be back in the City next month for a workshop with John Salminen and plan to visit the square. I plan to submit the painting to Watercolor USA this year. Wish me luck.

Jackson Square is at the heart of New Orleans. This full sheet 30"x22" painting was composed for a photograph I took on my last trip to the City in 2002. I will be back in the City for a watercolor workshop next month with John Salminen.
