I'm no football fan, but I think I would be remiss if I didn't say that it's too bad the Saints lost the finals. I think I speak for most of us Louisianians when I say that we're all pretty proud of the boys for making it so far as they did. My hubby says,"It's a shame the 'Aints' showed up last night rather than the Saints."
While we're on the subject of New Orleans iconography, I must say that I would love to take credit for such a nice composition as the matted painting above. Sadly, I cannot. I like the colors as well as the fact that it has quintessential New Orleans style with the bag of Cafe' Du Monde beignets in the corner and mention of the French Market (where artisans sell their wares and you can also buy fresh produce).
If you're not familiar with beignets, they are French styled doughnuts (pronounced: ben-yays) sprinkled with a dusting of powdered sugar. Very, yummy. If you're interested in trying these little delights, click on the link above to order the mix straight from the original source.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you the artists name because he didn't sign it. Trey won the original watercolor painting when he entered his name in a drawing at a local craft show. What luck! I had inteded to buy that very painting before we left the show! If anyone has any idea who the artist is, please do share.
