Other people's photos.  Other people's pins?  Here's a few more of my Pinterest inspired paintings.

If I'm painting, chances are there's a tree or a beach involved.

Don't look super close at the reflection, because it's not scientifically accurate.

On the next two,  the proportions ended up a little off.

I started with the blue tower, and by the time I finished the buildings, there was way too much room left for the street.  The perspective and details had already taken too long, so I got tired of it and left the street plain.  It seems like I lose interest in a painting after about three hours.

There might be too much sky or too much rock here.  Do real artists sketch out the whole composition first?  Can I sketch pencil on canvas and then paint over it?   I guess I can do whatever I want.

Ahh, one of my all time favorites.  Whenever I look at this one, my heart aches for Mexico.  Even though I'm not sure where the original photo was taken.  But it reminds me of our trips to Mexico.  That thought led me to realize I should try painting photos from my own travels.

What is your favorite vacation spot?   I'm a beach girl.  Sunshine & ocean all the way.
