This is my second submission to Virtual Paintout. I have explored Prince Edward Island through Google Street View and although the pictures are not the best, I could still see how beautiful it is. Virtual Paintout is a challenge I look forward to each month. With this scene I simplified greatly to focus on shapes and color. I have a tendency to want to put every detail in my painting so that is a challenge for me, too. I learn more and more each time I paint. I love it!

  8. I think this is wonderfully simple, though it's not really, is it? But by leaving out some details, the essence of this building is left. I like your color scheme too.
    Are you going to paint more make-up?

  11. Hi Linda, I love this piece. So stylistic in approach and seemingly effortless. I love the subtle variation on tone in the foreground.

  12. Hi Linda,

    What a beauty! I have been to P.E.I. many times, and I wonder where this house is. I like the stark simplicity of the painting. Great work.

    Take care,

    Barbara

  13. I love the colors you used, and the mastery of the composition! It is very difficult to preserve, or rather to obtain simplicity like you have done. Simply beautiful! Kisses!
