Here is my painting:
And here is the photo of the street from google maps:
I changed the angle a little, and made the walls much brighter! You know me and color. I've always thought to do a whole series of laundry hanging in the wind. I have been asked to participate in a group art show in November called Urban Landscapes at Vox Studios in Sacramento. I believe I am going to run with this theme and do laundry hanging in urban settings. My dear friends Carolee and David are in Italy right now and have already captured a couple of images for me to use. I am very excited and appreciate it! Thank you both and I hope you are having a great time!!!
That's it for tonight, off to bed... be well everyone! Tj.

TJ! I love the orange building! And I also love the idea for your "series!" I hope you do a city piece with the laundry too...you know, kind of like the back of an old house with three floors (each an apt.) and the criss-crossing lines of laundry and stairs from the tenants...hmmm...(I wish I had the skill!)...
What a lovely, bright piece! I have noticed lots of laundry in virtual Lisbon, too, lol. I like how you punched up the colour of the building.
Laundry in urban settings sounds like a great theme -- I hope we see your work on the blog!
This painting is one of my favorites of yours. I heart laundry hanging out on peoples porches. It reminds me of Europe, and Mexico.
Great job!
-jj
Great job! How did you capture that photo? Everytime I try to copy an image from google maps, I just get a dot that won't show an image...Beatiful painting, and I bow to your computer knowledge! :P
Thanks Deb, much appreciated. Maybe this will help... When you are on Google maps, you should be able to Alt/print keys at the same time to copy, and then paste as a new image into any photo editing program. I have a couple of different photo programs. That should work?? I hope it helps!! Be well, Tj.
