Croatia Shadows House

This month's virtual paint out is in Croatia. I found a lot of high-contrast shadow type scenes. I love 'em. This was one of the better ones.

Here is the link if you are interested in seeing the original photo: http://goo.gl/maps/FplpU

On the Chopping Block

From our kitchen...here in the U. S.

The blue is showing up in this photo much more blue than the original. It is actually a nice blue-green. Too lazy to correct it at the moment.

Newbies

Both of these were created for The Virtual Paintout, a project in which artists create a drawing or painting based on Google Street views. Each month there is a different country. Last month was Latvia...this month is Thailand. And, it has the approval of Google, that is, no copyright infringement against the artwork...free to sell, as well.

Either one is $100 plus $8 shipping via USPO Priority Mail (Continental U.S.)

The first is based on a street scene from Latvia. The second is from Thailand.

I have finally gotten off my posterior and created a blog just for showcasing and selling my artwork...an online gallery, as it were.

I am still working this out, but posting the latest at the top seems like the best way to do it. I may switch to linking to my Photobucket account, but I don't know yet.

In most cases, each drawing is done on 9" x 12" toned, acid free paper. The images are smaller, as I indicate under each drawing (height precedes width). The reason I do it this way is so that you, the buyer, can decide the size of your frame, up to the 9 x 12 and aren't confined to the image size. Or, if your prefer, I would be glad to cut to the size you prefer. Keep in mind that all of these need to also be matted in the frame (it keeps the drawing off of the frame glass).

Drawings that are so noted, are for sale (some are already spoken for, and are indicated by NFS).

To keep my life simple, each one is $100 USD plus $8 for shipping via USPO priority mail (continental U.S.)

If all else fails...my email address is, musartus@gmail.com
