Do to the painter's block I skipped the "Paris" Virtual Paintout assigned in May, so I was anxious to do this month's Florence Google Streets for the June Virtual Paintout. This landscape painting of a field of olive trees was a good exercise for me.
I love my little vacations while on Google Streets. I could plan a trip like no other. I have become addicted to Google Street Views. My husband will walk in while I am on the computer and automatically asks, "And ... where are we now?" This weekend... I discovered the countryside of the South of France. OMG.... I have never been... but am so ready to go more than I have ever been.
This crow was spotted last spring around Dallas' Whiterock Lake. One of several that I have painted, but the first time to paint one this fast. I love the way the light hits the feathers revealing their blue color. I haven't attempted plein air painting yet... but since this is from a photograph.... is it called digital plein air?

This a painting I did while attending a Carol Marine workshop. It was and exercise of loading your brush one time to make one stroke. We were instructed to not mix on the canvas. After each stroke was laid on the canvas we took our brushed back to the palette to either grab more paint or mix more paint. It was terribly hard to not go with my natural tendancy to blend.
