Virtual Paint out February - Romania

Okay, here is my third Virtual Paint Out submission. This month is Romania. I choose to work in oils for this painting - which is my first oil painting in over ten years!
Below you can see the google map location that I used to create the painting. I am having so much fun with this. I like the challenge of a new place every month and it's cool to explore new places via the internet.

Let me know what you think of the new oil painting.

Virtual Paint Out Boston

Fenway Park, Boston  20 x 30 Acrylic on canvas

Okay, here is my second submission to Virtual Paintout. This month the city is Boston. It's a neat idea. Every month they pick a location and by using Google Maps, you find a street view and paint it. All submission for the month are posted on the blog http://virtualpaintout.blogspot.com/
Here are my street views below. I used a combination of two views this month because I wanted to include the restaurant on the left.
Well, I have enjoyed this project and I look forward to next month. Happy Painting!

Cheers, Dawn

Start off 2011 with snow

Filming interrupted. Our street was blocked off for filming but the snow had other plans.

The formal snow man created by one of my neighbors

Sunday night at the top of the street as the storm blows in

Walking down Peachtree. We saw people ice skating up and down P'tree. Can you believe it?

Burrrrr.....in the studio

Inflatable kayak coasting down Oak Hill in Piedmont. What fun

Urban Hockey on 10th St

Sledding down the hill off 10th

All the snow was fun for a day or two but I'm ready to get back to life. I can't believe so much of the country deals with this all winter. No wonder we're friendly in the South. We're not freezing and shoveling snow everyday.

Painting of the Week


White Strand, Co Clare, Ireland
20 x 30

This is my first submission to Virtual Paintout. It is a neat concept. Every month they pick a location and using Google Maps, you find a street view and then paint it. They post all the submission for that month up on their blog. http://virtualpaintout.blogspot.com/

Here is my street view.
Lot's of fun! I look forward to Januarys location.

Cheers!

Shenandoah Nat'l Park in the Fall

The Shenandoah in the Fall   16 x 20

This is my most recent painting from the studio. This Fall I made several passes through the Virginia mountains while traveling to art shows. You just can't beat the beauty of the Shenandoah Mountains!!!
I have tried to capture the intense beauty here on the canvas.
Tell me what you think.

Cheers!
