Two Painters

New Orleans

This mural is being painted on a hotel parking lot wall next to the Riverwalk. I've watched it grow each day as I've walked between the convention center and my hotel. I probably should have cropped in closer to the painter but I couldn't leave his co-worker out. The numbers are to help the painter complete this super-sized mural. He frequently holds a photo in his hand as he starts each new square.
To see my second choice for today's photo go to http://www.pbase.com/image/30529047


A shot of the completed mural is posted at http://www.pbase.com/image/32568641

Kinda paint by numbers... Good opportunity to keep up with his progress by taking a new picture everyday... ?

This one is definitely first choice !

Your second choice is nice, but this is so "New Orleans".
Great shot, thanks for finding all these wonderful scenes.

Wonderful capture Gayle. This photo really tells a story. I think it is framed and composed just right.
Guest 24-Jun-2004 19:05
Wonderful capture. It must be fascinating
to watch them paint it!

Hi, Paul. No, this one will face the street, rather than the open parking lot.
Paul Dovie Jr24-Jun-2004 14:16
Beautiful shot Gayle, but is this being done over the whales in the parking lot of the riverwalk?
Robin Reid24-Jun-2004 14:03
This is the one! Unique and eye-catching.
Gosh, all your shots are right there at your hotel. What a hoot.
Larry Ahern24-Jun-2004 13:23
This is very well done!
Gary Blanchette24-Jun-2004 12:50
The gentleman to the left seems to be praying that the electric scafold doesn't break. lol! Nice shot Gayle!
Guest 24-Jun-2004 12:45
Excellent! You can see the faint outline of the design above the numbers. This really is an engaging photo. I like the shot just the way it is. Tighter cropping would lose much of the impact. (IMHO)
virginiacoastline24-Jun-2004 12:25
Great shot!!! Love the relaxing guy on the left =]
Gayle P. Clement24-Jun-2004 12:23
The numbers are to help him replicate the original drawing for the mural. He has photos of what each numbered section should look like that he consults as he starts a new section. The mural itself will be enormous. This is less than a third of it.

Nice capture Gayle. I am curious as to what the numbers are? It looks like a giant game of some type.
