N. Robertson St. - NOLA Series - #3

Here's my latest in the New Orleans Lower 9th Ward series I'm doing using Google Street View scenes as references. I think I'm closer to the look and feel I'm after with this one. How many times do I have to say "simplify" to myself before I can actually get it?

NOLA - Lower 9th Ward Series - #1

I've been thinking for some time about starting a series of small knife paintings based on the views I find through Google Street View in the area of New Orleans called the Lower 9th Ward. As most people know, this was one area hit devastatingly hard during Hurricane Katrina, and the resulting flooding caused by broken levees.

I've picked ten views on which to base the paintings. I seriously doubt that anyone will look at any of these paintings and proclaim their beauty. That's okay.
