I love how the tendrils of the vine meander across the painting.<br /><br />I'm crazy for ironworks too; it's one of the reasons why I love New Orleans so much.

I had plenty of time for that because we like to visit bookstores who have a cafe, so I end up doing a small watercolor, by looking out the window.<br /><br />It sounds like the crap detective deposits his poison on every blog of certain blog lists. Hope someone will find an effective method to get to him!
