Virtual Paintout - Jerusalem - May 2012

"The Shuk"
11.5 x 16.5 inch, pastel on paper
(private collection, Brussels)

The Google team has recently added Israel to Street View.  I am finding some amazing views in Jerusalem and have been trying them out in pastel. Above is a covered market in the old city: the winding path goes on and on and every step along the way could inspire another painting. Below I used oil pastel to capture the panorama from the Mount of Olives.


"Jerusalem Skyline"
6x9 inch, oil pastel on watercolor paper
