I recently explored the French Quarter of New Orleans with two dear friends. My eye was drawn to the beautiful iron scrollwork on the gates and balconies as well as to the historic iron hitching posts and water meter covers. I imagined myself strolling down these same streets during Mardi Gras, delighting in the music, masks, hats, and song. This mixed media painting captures that feeling as I entwined collaged images of the ironwork with painted architecture, hats, masks, and beads. Hope you like it.
