I had dismissed the above photo as a bad one, but the more I look at it, the more it strikes me as a
great image, one with an interesting composition... one worth painting some day.
If forced to make comparisons, I would describe downtown St. Augustine as part
Monterey and part
New Orleans, with perhaps a touch of
Savannah or
Charleston... The effort to perhaps
be like New Orleans was evident in buildings like the one above, and also
Harry's "New Orleans Style Restaurant", where we had a decent New Orleans style dinner, and which had the feel of a French Quarter cafe right down to the sprawling courtyard and cluster of dining areas buzzing with activity.
