Breaux's Grocery in Leroy, LA

My quest to paint "en plein air" continues as I travel nearby looking to spot something that interests me.  I decided on the little grocery store in Leroy, LA.  I've been wanting to paint this little store for some time.  Lucy and I headed out on a Friday morning to enjoy the day and cooler temperatures. We had a wonderful day visiting with the locals.  I met 2 artists, a man who offered for me to paint his horse and several others who stopped by to see what I was doing.

The store serves sandwiches and the local farmers would stop in to pick one up and/or sit on this sweet little bench under the umbrella to eat their lunch and enjoy the day.
