This tree is amazing but very hard to paint. After 2 days of messing with it, I finally have a style that works.

Here is a companion piece.

June’s Virtual Paintout Challenge is New Zealand. I found a lonely road in Kerikeri that had my favorite elements: grass, highway, trees, and water.

This one is using a bit of sgraffito to add interest.

It is that time again to paint from Google’s Street View for the Virtual Paintout. This one is from Hong Kong’s Shatin Pass Road. It is an old narrow street winding around a hill which overlooks the city.

The day Google’s cameras captured the road, only a few pedestrians were walking it. I would think such a pleasant place so near the city would be crowded with walkers.
