Virtual Paintout - Valparaiso, Chile

This month, the website Virtual Paintout has chosen Valparaiso, Chile as our painting location. One visits the city virtually using Google Maps' little yellow man to view city scenes from the streets. You travel around until you see something to paint or draw. I was introduced to this painting opportunity by my friend Mike Bergen , another artist that participates in virtual paintouts. It's pretty cool that Google has given artists permission to use Street View for painting references - Thanks Google! Here's the painting I did from this Google map location: 

It's 4x6 inches - watercolor with pastel on paper. "Abrazo, Valparaiso, Chile"

Unframed - it is available for $25.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling. 

Pelican Sunset Miniature Pastel Painting on Canvas

Pelican Sunset #1. This tiny 2 inch by 2 inch canvas has been painted with pastels and sealed with many layers of diluted PVA size then finished with 2 coats of an acrylic UV protective spray sealing the edges and front. With gentle dusting and care, this could become your next family heirloom! This real piece of miniature art can be displayed on its accompanying mini easel or hung by the tiny metal hanger attached to the back of the canvas. The edges of the canvas have been painted and sealed, so it's all set to be displayed in your home, or office. Imagine how sweet this would be sitting perched on your desk, as a wonderful reminder of your beach vacation this summer. These tiny paintings make great gifts too. They can also be hung with a ribbon tied through the small hanger on the back - making them useful as holiday ornaments. You can be the happy owner of an original painting for just $35.00 + $5.00 shipping and handling within the US.
