Our assignment for the day was to walk Royal Street, well known for its art galleries, and find our absolute favorite piece of art. This was a little overwhelming at first, I mean how does one chose just one art piece? They are all beautiful and have some kind of a history. After walking up and down the street and visiting several galleries I finally found the one. You know when you are looking for something and you see the most perfect thing and you just know it's the one? That's exactly how I felt when I found this particular piece of art. Galleria Rue Royal was the home of this art piece. It was the most beautiful picture of Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffanys. One of my all time favorite ladies is Audrey Hepburn, her style is perfectly classic. I'm not much of an art person, but when I saw this art piece I immediately fell in love and even dreamed of buying it. At a cost upwards of $20,000 obviously I could never purchase it, but if I could I absolutely would! The artist wasn't local but has a long family history in the art and show business, his name was DeVon. This artist specializes in pop art and has art all over the world. I was so glad we had the opportunity to explore the art of New Orleans, because it ended up being such a memorable time and I fell in love with something I would have never guessed.
