This is a street on the island of Terceira. I chose it for June's Virtual Paintout in the Azores. What an incredible place - it seems there's not a single spot without a fabulous view. The islands are volcanic, and some have wonderful inland lakes. In the Google streetviews - taken in April and August - there are gorgeous flowers everywhere, banks of azaleas and hydrangeas.

| Almost done, but it seems very cold, so I add some warm washes to finish up (see final). |

DO you ever do this kind of work in acrylic? I forgot.
I have looked at all the artist's studios and have 2 pages of great notes. Again Thank you Thank you for thinking this up and getting it going!
It's always wonderful to have a lot of space, but one thing I did notice is that the size of the studio is not necessarily relevant to the quality of the painting! All of those wonderful artists worked in very different spaces, but all produce brilliant work.
Do you have a painting blog yourself?
