Archival Giclée print on Studio WC paper (similar to paper of original) of a watercolor of my favorite museum in the world, and a classic beautiful French Quarter building.


Watercolor and ink on paper, 2018.

"New Orleans doesn't have treasures the way an Uptown lady has pearls and jewelry. They are not superfluous extravagances. Instead, our treasures are like the body's beating heart or morning coffee: they are essential, and the city would not live without them.

You can sit on your porch and watch the world's most amazing theatre of people talking, yelling, dancing, and eating, set against our amazing vernacular buildings and among our magnolias, crepe myrtles, swamp lilies, and Louisiana irises. You are part of that theatre, and you talk to people as they pass, smell the sweet jasmine and sweet olive in the air, and hear trains and boats from the river. You do not need to leave your porch to find treasures here." - Billy Sothern
