The Virtual Paintout is a challenge to paint from the Google Street View. We went to Slovakia this month, and looking for something interesting to paint, and I came upon this old castle up on a hill. Time went crazy while I painted. Day became night, the past became the present, everything got all mixed up! And ghosts, ghosts were everywhere - peasants dwelling in that stone hut up close, war councils in the big tower. Knights on chargers, jousting in the car park below, their horses' hooves thundering on the pavement.
This is gorgeous! You have a knack with nocturnes... I saw the other two night paintings, with moons. The mood, the subtle color shifts within the blue family... well well done!
