Louisiana Parkway Avenue


Early in October a group from 1st Pres went and worked on houses in New Orleans. While there I was able to do some watercolors and this is one. I was interested in the history of each house: the traces left from the original structures, as well as how these traces influenced rebuilding. Nothing was square or straight or level - but improvisation was required in each precise plan. That is, precision was not attainable. So every move had to take into account a kind of skew indigenous to the structure.
