.: Fellow Artist :.

I'll have to write in little vignettes my adventure in New Orleans. I think I'd learned and experienced some pretty amazing stuff. Well, ok, outside of being drunk for a good part of the daylight.

I'd met a painter, Ocean Clark, who had his paintings laid out for veiwing and sellin'. There were SO many wonderful pieces. Portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Louis Armstrong, even Jelly Roll Morton. THAT is where I'd blow a thousand. I was so fascinated by his brushwork and color. He's studio and house were wrecked with the floods. He does want to come back again tho he's in NYC, I think.

Made me miss painting. I suck at painting opposed to other kinds of artistic media. Thanks Ocean for reminding me about art.
