12 x 9" Acrylic on canvas
The Virtual Paintout is traveling again! Using Google Street View artists are invited to visit a chosen location and paint or draw the local landscape. The destination this month is the US Virgin Islands. Traveling around the main island, St. Croix to Frederiksted, I was intrigued by the juxtaposition of old remnants (practically ruins) right next to new and well-kept buildings. Case in point is this old stone structure with its arched portico directly across the street from the impressive bell tower of St. Paul's Anglican Church. Quite a contrast. I am not sure if this is building is important or not, but it gave me the idea for this painting. The whole scene looks even better in moonlight! (You can see it for yourself if you click here.)
Painted on all sides of the canvas, this piece can be framed, but it can also be hung up, just as it is.
