The Virtual Paintout is in Liverpool UK this month. I like to paint mountains,
so this was a bit of a let-down after last month’s virtual expedition to the
Julian Alps in Slovenia .
Any friends I mentioned this problem to suggested I paint the Beatles’ houses,
and I discovered to my surprise that there is actually a Google Streetview of all of them! (except Ringo Starr’s place which the Google car couldn’t quite get to). They didn’t seem particularly paintable
though, so I just started wandering and decided a (gracefully-aged) psychedelic
version of Georges Pierhead might be a better representation of the Beatles’
hometown. Here is a link to the Streetview of it.
