It's the 21st. consecutive month I've participated in the
Virtual Paintout! The location for April 2014 was Liverpool which was very exciting to look around using Google Street View. What a beautiful and very busy city. And we know there are Mersey Ferries from the old '60's song but sadly the Google Street View car didn't go near any docks. I found some fabulous industrial areas with tanks and fog but decided on some city views. Some views I liked and thought might work for a downtown painting just had too much traffic and many busses. I happened on a red telephone booth and had to try a gouache to include it. For my second piece, I painted a watercolor as the Google car headed toward a tunnel which I haven't had the chance to try before. Looking forward to next month's location!

You're work is gorgeous Sherry!
The Virtual Paintout is fun for me, but I've never even been to Paris! Thanks Carol!
DeleteLove your pallet and your spin on things, Sherry - consistently great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joani, I really appreciate your faithful comments!
DeleteWow, Sherry, you've been all around the world! I had no idea you were doing this for so long. Beautiful renditions, both of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Terry! I don't think the VP has been to any Asian countries since I started. Thailand was just before I jumped in.
DeleteYour experience with VP combined with your actual en plein air painting really shows as your paintings are well thought out and always better than seeing a photo
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorraine! Love it!
