Four Lions in the Fountain


It's always exciting on these virtual jaunts to round a corner and come across something awe inspiring. It makes me so grateful to be painting again.

Gargoyle


In Arles, France this month with Bill Guffey's Virtual Paintout, I came across this gargoyle (?), one of two over an ornate door on a side street. I have always been fascinated with the artisan works on buildings but it's difficult to get a decent vantage point to photograph them. Google's street view has the advantage of raising the viewpoint to nearly eye level.
