"The Duke"

This is an old pen & ink sketch I had done many years ago.  I found it while going through an old portfolio.  I hope people recognize him as John Wayne.  I like the cross-hatch shading on it.

St. Louis Cathedral--Jackson Square, New Orleans

This is a pen & ink and watercolor painting of St. Louis Cathedral on Jackson Square in New Orleans.  The white exterior seems so pure in contrast to the bawdy nature of Bourbon Street, which is only two blocks from the Cathedral.  It was founded in 1720 and opened in 1794 making it the oldest cathedral in what would become the United States.  It is not an "exact" replica of the Cathedral--rather, it is my interpretation of it.  It is also one of the few churches I can think of with a clock on its exterior.
