This one's of the fountain at Forsyth Park in Savannah, GA. I love the trees in Savannah - one of my fondest childhood memories of the place is looking up out of the backseat window at the canopy that the trees create over the downtown streets, all decorated with lovely spanish moss. I'm glad I was able to return to Savannah and live there now.

Interestingly enough, I just did a charcoal drawing of one of my town's 'landmarks'. The only other landmark was a tree that blew over last winter, so I drew the only other thing associated with my town.

Greetings to Stockholm! Great painting! I especially like the thin streaks of light. They make the image look very alive.
Here's my cathedral of Helsinki as seen from the window of the office I work at and painted very badly with Teh Mouse again. Maybe I'll get better some day.

'Town' might be a slight exaggeration, but I'm moving to a tiny mountain village in two days to do a one year art course. I've never been there before, but this is more or less how google's image search told me it looks like.. Painted from reference, photoshop 20 minutes.

Nice ones, everybody.

Telemaco............wow. You're style is great. I really look forward to seeing more of your work.

Brittany, it's a shame that everywhere in the South isn't as beautiful as Savannah.......

Here's my hometown. Deep countryside, Dordogne. Most famous landmark: My mum's garden, hand-made of the stones that she dug up herself. I only drew a tiny part of it, but it's in fact a lot of rectangles of different levels, surrounded by stones. On the drawing, a little part of my mum's huge collection of tomatoes.

45 min, photoshop+tablet
