In keeping with the New Orleans theme from my last post (New Orleans Victorian), I wanted to take a different approach to the architectural details found in the homes located within the Garden District in New Orleans. In this print, I used a sketching technique and kept it strong and bold to highlight the lines and details of this beautiful home. The black and white aspect keeps the visual experience focused on the details of the shapes in the scene. The end result is a strong visual statement of the beauty of this mansion nestled amongst the plants on the property. Thoughts?

Even I the lover of color will admit that the columns are so vivid with the black and white. A historical feel too.

Stunning! And so majestic! I do like that 1 strong horizontal line of the tree branch! Quite a contrast to all the vertical lines. Maybe I should have used the word juxaposition?? I just love it when I can stick that word in anywhere!
Lol….so well said!!!! Thank you very much!!
