The Virtual Paintout is in Valparaiso, Chile this month, and I had some difficulty finding a really great view on Google Streetview. After some maneuvering, I finally came upon this appealing composition – more of a design than a landscape, really.  Here’s a link to it.  

It reminded me of a painting I wrote about in 2011 after a river cruise in Europe.  That painting was heavily influenced by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, so I let him have a go at Puerto Valparaiso as well.
