Is it just me or are any of you really wanting to get out and travel like the days before the pandemic hit. I catch myself looking through a bunch of my older photos from past workshops in Europe and I start thinking about how great it would be to get back to those trips.
Since traveling overseas or even to Canada probably won't be happening any time soon I remembered something I wrote about in this newsletter a couple of years ago about traveling with Google Maps on Street View. Okay, it's not the same as going to these places but it is kind of fun viewing the streets of other countries in an office chair behind your computer.
This week's paint-a-long will come from a Google street view trip I took overseas this weekend. This link will take you right to an island off of Naples that I think is called Isola d'lschia. Use this link to take you right to the stop or photo I am gonna paint.

To use google street view go to map view and then drag the little yellow figure in the bottom right corner and drag him to a blue line on the map or a blue dot. The blue dots are what other people post on Google maps.
If you find some neat shots on Google street view, I would love to see what you can come up with and I would love to see you paint scenes from those places you been to on Google Maps.
