Azores: A Virual Paintout

We visit the Azores archipelago for plein air painting at the Virtual Paintout. For some reason, whenever an European location is chosen, I tend to gravitate towards church buildings as the subject of my painting. I have already done a few for other challenges. Azores is a pretty place with lots of interesting sites to choose from. I chose this little church at a place called Altares in Azores.

Thanks for visiting.

Double-Deckers!

Double Decker on north Quale, Isle of Man

I remember riding on them back in my college days in New Delhi. The DTC had so few on its fleet it was indeed a special treat if you were lucky enough to get to ride in one. After a few years, they were discontinued.

I spotted this double decker on North Quale, Douglas while taking a virtual tour of Isle of Man for this month's challenge at the Virtual Paintout. Could not resist the trip down the memory lane. I sketched it using pencil and brush pens. I did not get the glass reflections well but I like the bus!

This is also my submission for Illustration Friday's this week's theme Wheels.

Thanks for visiting.
