Painting In the 'Hood

Just south of the Arch and the St. Louis Riverfront is an old neighborhood called Soulard. Strolling its streets will transport you to back the 1800's. There's just something appealing about being surrounded by buildings that were around when St. Louis was the last outpost of civilization on the western frontier. Compared to the modern skyscrapers downtown, this street scene is on a human scale. Each structure has a distinct look, varying in height, size, and purpose. Many have been converted to restaurants with brick patios outback.

So after a morning of painting you can get a bite to eat in the shade of a brick and wrought iron space.

Try a street scene of a special place in your hometown.
