A StreetCar Called Snow

A few posts ago, there is the photo of the

streetcar in New Orleans in the snow (rare).

Anyway, someone wanted me to paint it for

them. As a watercolor artist, I knew it was

next to impossible to paint a snowy scene in

watercolor. I was at the gallery, and I showed

the photo to a bright seven year old who frequents

my establishment. She is quite artistic, and I

showed her the picture, and was discussing with

her how I was not going to be able to do the snow

with watercolor. And she suggested chalk! How

brilliant she was....of course, I could do it in pastel.

Out of the mouth of babes...so anyway, here is the

beginning of the "streetcar called snowstorm"..

Thanks Kate!!
