This is Savage Harbour, Prince Edward Island for August's Virtual Paintout.
Each month artists get to explore somewhere in the world using Google Street View, then they choose a location or subject to paint or draw. For the few hours it takes to find somewhere and draw it, I am a virtual tourist and get a bit of a feel for each country, island or city.
All the artwork is posted on the Virtual Paintout Blog , hosted by Bill Guffey (the man behind Virtual Paintout). It's fun to see the different locations chosen by other artists, sometimes I even recognise somewhere from my virtual travels!

My wife does these on a regular basis. Its always fun to watch her cruising around on her little computer mouse, looking for that wonderful location to paint. I am nearing the decision to really try to start doing more artwork and this is one thing I look forward to. You've chosen a wonderful location and done a great job portraying it :)
What a great idea, using Google View.! I love how you combined media for this piece!
oh no what happened to Hong Kong? Don't tell me I've missed another month of VP.
This reminds me of the film made from Annie Proux novel (Shipping News) with it's big skies and cool colours. Nicely done.
I hear more and more about this wonderful group, Virtual Painting. Your sketch is lovely too.
perhaps when you find lovely places to paint, you should jump on the next plane!! A lovely picture.
