This month, the Virtual Paintout is on the Isle of Man, most of which is lovely, pastoral and easy to paint. For some reason I decided
to head into town and take on some of the equally lovely (but nowhere near as
easy to paint) architecture – and quickly got bogged down in detail.
Speaking of which, I moved forward a bit to get a better look
at the relative positions of some of the details on the church on the right…and
was amazed to discover that, in the time it took to get across the street,
someone had made off with all the flowers from the white building on the left! (Check
out the Streetview I used for this painting compared to the view from about ten meters away)
In my Streetview drives around various countries, I’ve
noticed sequences like this before, usually manifesting as abrupt weather
changes, and I think it’s great how Google manages to weave together pictures
that were taken on different days, sometimes weeks apart.
