Virtual Paintout in Venice

The Virtual Paintout is in Venice this month  and I was lucky enough to land on this nicely composed Streetview almost immediately after I began maneuvering the Google camera boat around town.

I also had a look at one of the most frequently painted places in Venice – Basilica Di San Marco, but found the front was boarded up for restoration… But then I made the happy discovery that the side of the building, though also partly covered in protective boards and tarps, presented a very paintable design!  I’m not quite finished it, but hope to have it ready to post next week.
