I was originally strolling down various streets (via the online Google Street Views) in Majorca looking for interesting doorways, open windows or other portals. This scene with the woman-by-the-pool caught my eye, yet I still had the portal idea on my mind. So I strolled a bit further on & saw a canopy of large ferns (with those lovely patterns of-light-and-dark) just down the road. I knew this could be a lovely, intriguing and hopefully evocative painting if I combined the two... AND it would be a portal of sorts.

The Destination
I'm traveling with The Virtual Paintout
group again, and this month we're meeting in Spain, specifically in Majorca (or Mallorca) for some
virtual painting via Google Street Views. Here's a direct link to the
spot where I discovered this woman-by-the-pool (she appears to have been so engrossed in her book when the Google Camera person went by that she didn't even notice; but her companions did): https://goo.gl/maps/11Lc2Ev5Yxw |
