In April, 2001, we (Bob and Jan) went on a watercolor painting trip to New Orleans.  We spent the first few days in northern Louisiana exploring the lovely old plantation homes around St. Francisville.  Then we spent a week trying to paint the charm and beauty of the French Quarter in New Orleans with our teacher, Doris Olsen, and our artist pals.  (See Jan's Art for a couple paintings.)  The best part of a visit to New Orleans, though, is probably the food.  It was outstanding!  Here are a few of the photos we took.  To see the larger image, just click on the thumbnail picture.
