The June 2015 location for the Virtual Paintout was Estonia, an exciting and beautiful place to look around, virtually. Bill Guffey hosts the monthly Virtual Paintout and chooses the locations. He posts our artwork on Facebook and his blog. The location can be anywhere the Google Street View vehicles have travelled.
Estonia is in Northern Europe in the Baltic region. The "old Town" section of Tallinn was very charming with many classic buildings. I found one rocky-looking beach with lots of people but thought it might look like many places. I try to find something more descriptive of the country we're visiting. What will the July location be?

Very nice work Sherry, love your choice of motif. You're right that its best to try to pick a scene unique to the place.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jody!
DeleteYou have caught the two seasons well in your chosen views Sherry,love how you capture so much light and your purple shadows always sing
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine, I can't seem to get scans to look quite like the originals which aren't so bright.
DeleteIt's so much fun to travel with you, Sherry, and see the world through you eyes. Two excellent choices.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry, sometimes I do wonder why I keep participating.
Deleteyour version of Estonia is franker then the real deal - at least in the dead of winter
