Virtual Paintout - Majorca!

I'm always excited to participate in the Virtual Paintout each month.  Bill Guffey chooses the month's location for artists to virtually look around for their paint-out location using Google Street View.  I really enjoy seeing so many parts of the world that I'll never be able to personally visit.  It's amazing to see where the Google Street View vehicles have travelled.  

I was surprised to see the location for January 2016 was the island of Majorca.  Or, Mallorca, which is a part of Spain.  Many years ago I saw a PBS program about gardens in Majorca.  The mountainous island looked gorgeous on TV.  All these years later, it still looks like a beautiful place.  As always, I found a lot of interesting views that might make a good watercolor.  It's good painting practice for me.
