The parade for the French Quarter Jazz Fest in New Orleans was full of musicians from young school bands likely in one of their first parades to sage professionals like the members of the Society Brass Band. This percussion crew has no doubt marched in thousands of parades, yet their level of concentration looked intense. Not a smile to be found. Given the excitement of the crowds and the joyous prancing of others in the parade, the contrast of these men made me grin, which is all it takes to make me want to share the story a painting.

April this is a great painting. I love the color of the sky you chose for the backdrop. These three do certainly look intense. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie. There were so many neutrals in the men and their drums I needed that pop of color.
DeleteLove the sky, and the shadows on the white shirts. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sheila. Their shirts were the most fun to paint.
