Côte d'Azur, France
Quai de Monleon, Menton 6"x 6" mixed media on paper My Street View link Skip the story and go directly to join instructions The Côte d'Azur was the first virtual hike I completed. The medal is absolutely gorgeous. I thought it would be appropriate to be the location of the first virtual hike paintout as well. Unfortunately... every painting I did was worse than the last. There's no way I wanted to publish any of them. But I also didn't want to give up on this wonderful location. I decided to give it one more go, and whatever I ended up with, that's what I would use for this blog, regardless. In the end, I'm not unhappy with it. It represents all kinds of experimentation, and even a little bit of editorializing, which I don't typically do in a painting (I'm very literal). On top of these very old buildings I added a little veneer of frivolity, which strikes me as appropriate for a playground of the rich and famous. Please enjoy the horrible pai...
