My first stab at painting...

With the cold weather here, I haven't had much of a chance to go out and snap pictures, as most have noticed. I decided to start painting. I have never painted before, but my first attempt was the St. Louis Blues Blue Note, whatcha think?

Powell Square building and Chouteau's landing

The other landing... Most everyone in and around St. Louis knows about "the Landing", Laclede's that is. The almost on the riverfront spread full of bars, clubs and drunken teens and twenty-somethings. Not so far to the south however, just on the other side of the Arch is the other landing, Chouteau's. Right now Chouteau's landing is sitting with some horribly neglected, yet potentially beautiful buildings and some businesses that few have heard of. Without further ado...




This tagger expresses some feelings about the inability for this area to get developed....


I don't even want to know...

Shell Building

This wonderful building is located downtown, just east of the Main Library and "homeless" park, aka Lucas Gardens. I think this is one of the neatest buildings in St. Louis. I love buildings built on a curve and I love lights on a building... this is a 2 for 1 special.


Serpico Enjoying the Falls...

This is my pup Serpico enjoying the Waterfall in Forest Park near the golf course. He loves splashing in the water.

Continental Life Clock

I'm thinking vandals got to the clock located on the Continental Life Building, (you know, the real tall one by the Fox). I noticed some glass on the sidewalk and both sides of the clock glass were broken...

I love this factory.

This is the old Brown Shoe Factory located at Jefferson and Mullanphy. It is such a cool building! I mean look at the spiral fire escape, so cool!

Where in St. Louis am I?

Might be one of the tougher ones....
