| My prints of this drawing were delivered today...so happy with them. There are two sizes: 21 x 21; $85.00 and 10 x 10; $45.00 I can ship them if you are interested. Great for a kitchen, or a gift for someone who has visited Cafe du Monde! |

Just about finished with this drawing of a dishwasher at the famous Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. I finished the apron last night, and tonight I worked on the background. I tossed and turned all night last night about the background. I don't like them...viewers of this blog know that! The cafe building has a green and white striped awning, and I thought about some stripes in the background. Then I thought about drawing some of the building (a column, etc). Too busy...So I did what I usually do!! Just some color smudged around! Maybe simpler is better. I like it for now. May tweak a little more before I frame it. I did the background with pastel chalk...if I had done it in colored pencil, it would have taken me FOREVER!! I am heading out to Clifton Texas for the opening reception of the Bosque Conservatory show. Will be back next week, and ready to finish framing everything. sheltongail@hotmail.com |

| This is a new work in progress...a colored pencil drawing of this man working at the Cafe Du Monde down in New Orleans. I took the photo several years ago when I was at the cafe. I had gone inside and saw him washing dishes in the back. I slipped over with my camera, and snapped this shot. I decided to include this in the Lake Charles show. That is if I finish it in time! sheltongail@hotmail.com |
