Falcon showed up and terrorized all the birds. Blue Jays were screaming bloody murder. Did not see evidence of murder, but haven’t seen mom and baby blue jay since. Hope they’re hiding out somewhere. Meanwhile the tiniest little nest has been built on the highest branch of the fig tree. (Is that so smart with a falcon hanging around?) tiniest little tail sticking out. Looks like the end of a smoking pipe. Bird Tales. #colleenshannonart #neworleansartist #jacksonsquare #sketchbook #watercolor #birdtales #nature #yourownbackyard

Major work deserves major reward. Lunch.

Working on this sculpture. My kitchen floor. Out with old grungy grey cement that picks up every stain. And in with the new. Porcelain, easy to clean and brightens up the room. Still needs to be grouted. #kitchenart

My beautiful red hydraulic bucket seat studio chair has died. RIP lipstick red chair. I hammered the bucket seat off and will be making a new seat to screw on, since the hydraulics still work. When I find time... haha.

Check it out ya’ll. It’s my little baby hanging out in the mulberry tree. What a nice Mothers Day surprise. I get to see him everyday.

Fantastic nights sleep with the pitter patter of rain. Had no idea this was going on. Spring flood 2019.

Ain’t nobody here... I might be the lone artist today.

Photo from two years ago when I was just learning the ropes of Jackson Square and selling on the fence. You've come a long way baby. From zero days to having perhaps the best day ever today in sales. Thank you Jazz Fest folks for taking the time to visit the local artist in the French Quarter and buying art. So appreciated! #colleenshannonart #jacksonsquare #neworleansartist

Nice little rainy day accomplishment. Figured out my fish and flowers fit safely tucked away in my drafting table drawer. With all my hand made water colors in another drawer. This is very exciting! #colleenshannonart #watercolors #neworleansartist #jacksonsquare
