Years ago I was a member of a group called "The Virtual Paint Out". The concept was to explore a designated area using Google Street Views to find a scene to paint - without leaving home - a virtual paint-out.
New destinations were assigned each month. Our submitted paintings were then downloaded to the VPO site as part of a monthly display. It was a great concept - from exploration to finished painting.
Then, after many years, our director retired.
Last week, I received an email from a fellow artist who would like to start up the program again. She would call it "The Virtual Hike". This is a tentative start. She is hoping to engage many artists to join. I'm in - for sure!
Our first destination is the route between Marathon and Athens in Greece -with side trips allowed. I think I have already found my spot, but I'll keep exploring for awhile.
This destination will be up for Dec. and Jan. as this is the first step and she will need this time to organize and collect artists.
This is a free group. You are under no obligation to continue. It's just a fun group of fellow artists. This will be a lot of work for our new director. Thank you so very much, Marla.

Give it a try. It's free, fun and no strings attached!
Happy painting.
