I always enjoy participating in the
Virtual Paintout each month. For July 2017 the location was Malta, a small island country in the Mediterranean. Due to its strategic location it has had an interesting history, and a succession of powers including the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Moors, Normans, Sicilians, Spanish, French, and British...wow. Malta got independence from the United Kingdom in 1964, and became a republic in 1974.
Malta is a popular tourist destination so I saw cruise ships and yachts in the harbors. There are also architectural and historic monuments including seven prehistoric temples. I found the islands to be beautiful and so interesting to virtually look around for my painting views. I like to try a watercolor, and a gouache piece.

ReplyDeleteThank you Joani!
DeleteGreat work - the scenes you selected don't look all that amazing but you have produced very good paintings from them
ReplyDeleteHi Tom, Thanks for your nice comment. I spend quite awhile looking for an inspiring view in the VP location that I can adapt to what I want to paint. :-)
