Mardi Gras

N'awlins, 1889. Authentic costumes, giddy revelers, a jumping dog, streamers, balloons, and saloons, line infamous Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. A popular 3-D background, Mardi Gras' Bourbon Street seems to go on forever.

We would have included Drew Brees in this tableau and the rest of the Super Bowl winning Saints, but alas! we painted this when the Saints were the "Ain'ts" well before Katrina and the Super Bowl..

By the by...check out 3D57 (Party Gras) and 3D104 (Special Quay) for two other takes on the Big Easy.

NB: one copy of Mardi Gras is approximately 10' x 15', a foot or two shorter than the other. Nevertheless, it photographs well, as seen in this image.
