I want to paint your picture!

[LaOutbackTrail]

Hey guys, all through high school and college I would paint landscapes from photos that I took. I havent had anything lately that I've felt like painting. My most recent was from 2007 where I painted an alley/wash that I photographed in Granada, Nicaragua.

​

What I'd like to do here is see if any of you can provide a photo worth me painting. I like tropical scenes with mountains or beaches. I like volcanoes. I like underwater. Sunsets and the like. I like color. Latin America has lots of color!

If I paint YOUR photograph I may send the painting to you!:sombrero: May is the key word, depends on how much I like or dont like it! Haha.

What do you have?

One of my all time favorite photos. Volcanoes and water.

Ummmm hows about someone with a good Mayan pyramid or something? Hows about a good scene from like Belize or something??

Here are a couple that might fit your fancy

Farmers Market in Santa Fe New Mexico

One of my personal favorites because of how simple it is, yet how strongly it keeps me looking into the history of it - Random Wall in Savannah Gerogia

Another that might look cool painted, but it's your call - This is my wifes heels on the bar at Coyote Ugly in Memphis TN

Probably because of how much of a memory this is to me, we have this blown up 16x24 in our house right now - it would be a cool watercolor

not much for subject matter but it flings me way out there when i look at it...

 

[08whitex]

Not very tropical but I think they would make a cool painting

 

[Every Miles A Memory]

WhiteX, Those are ANYTHING but tropical!:sombrero: But they would look cool as a painting

 

[LaOutbackTrail]

Yeah, I like this one too, more of what I had in mind. Location?

Looking out off the Beach on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Island

If you've ever heard of Foxy's, this is right in front of their bar. Kenny Chesney gave the location away in one of his songs on his Be As You Are album (Probably one of the best albums known to travelers in the Islands)

Hey this is an image that i can not use for obvious reasons. I really liked the layout but the overcast really destroyed it for me, through a painting, you would be able to fix the problems fairly easily. Just let me know if you use it.
