The Virtual Paintout, Hout Bay

"Along the Highway, Hout Bay"

oil on board, 13" x 9 1/2"
$65.

I painted this piece for The Virtual Paintout challenge, which features Cape Town, South Africa this month. This challenge, to paint something you find on Google Maps, is especially inviting to me because I love landscapes and ruins. How could I resist!

To purchase a Painting.

All paintings are for sale unless other wise noted. I prefer to use Paypal, it is easy and secure. Using The Daily Paintworks website makes it even easier - there is a link below each painting.

There is a small shipping fee. Paypal will automatically add this, For more information, please contact me at:

patriciamusgrave7@yahoo.com

For purchases outside the US, please contact me, or go to The Daily Paintworks, where the information is available.

You may, of course, return a painting you don't like, but please contact me within 3 working days. Send the painting back, and I will issue a refund, minus the full shipping fees (generally, I pay a portion of them). I want my customers to be happy with my work.

I have made every effort to match the digital color of the image you see to the paintings, but not all monitors, lighting effects or digital cameras are totally accurate and some variation will occur.

Artist's Statement

My main goal as a painter is to express the beauty I see around me. I feel that this is my mission in life, and I take it seriously.

I love the process of painting, itself, and me, color is the best part. I see color theory as an evolving concept, one that never ceases to amaze and delight, so to learn more, to do better... this is where I am a seeker!

I hope you enjoy these paintings, I think I can honestly say I work long and hard over them. Not because I'm a perfectionist - I'm certainly not - but because I understand that all these pieces will last a very long time. Artists, I think must also be craftsmen. We must strive to create a thing of integrity and (for me) beauty for others to share in and enjoy.

Thank you for looking!
