VP 2013

Each of the following paintings has it's own post showing the "making-of" photos. For ease of viewing, I decided to show just the completed paintings here. If one catches your interest, please to click on the "link to post"  for the story behind the painting. Enjoy!


Introduction: the Virtual Paintout project was started by Bill Guffey (here) and is open to any artists of all abilities and most mediums. Each month we travel via Google Street View to a new place,  and choose our own spot as inspiration for our painting.

For those of us who can't go in person for various reasons, this is a fantastic way to find inspiration! I feel like my wheelchair has WINGS!! :-D

Vevie (rhymes with Stevie) 
my Virtual Paintout muse.

Vevie said to mention that
she has a Zazzle store, 
where cards, prints, and
Mini-Art of her travels 
can be purchased. 
She likes being famous!
