Old House on Royal Street by Diane Millsap

  In New Orleans' French quarter, on the corner of Royal and Barracks Streets, there stands a beautiful stucco townhouse. It has withstood the test of almost two centuries.
  It has undergone many minor and cosmetic changes, chimneys rebuilt, some new shutters here and there, and different colors of paint. It still retains its sense of artistic proportions and detail.
  I used an old archival photo of this building as a reference for my painting. Although I chose to change some colors and a few other details, people still recognized this home by its familiar silhouette.
