Window Shopping



Another painting I've revisited, because I wasn't satisfied with it.
Originally painted for Bill Guffey's September Virtual Paintout in New Orleans.
I found these two young people timidly looking
into what looked like a Voodoo or Santeria store in the French Quarter.

I added detail to the store front; a plant and a dog on leash.
Strengthened some of the colors, as well as highlights and shadows.
The little dog seems to see a better destination...

Window Shopping in the French Quarter


Painted for Bill Guffey's Virtual Paintout New Orleans challenge.

I liked this view of a couple tentatively peering into a shop door,
curious but not quite sure if they want to enter.
It was dark inside and looked very much like a Santeria or Voodoo Shop,
so maybe that was why they were both curious and hesitant.
