Virtual Paintout: San Francisco

 


Victorian Jungle

crayon and color pencil drawing by Rosa Phoenix



I did this drawing for the Virtual Paintout. 

This month focuses on the San Francisco Bay Area!


My imagination went wild with this scene!



  



My inspiration was a tiger painted on a Victorian house. 

The tiger appears to be relaxing in the tree. 

And is that a lotus flower growing out of its head?


Did you know Chinese New Year is coming, the Year of the Tiger? Tiger is my sign!

I decided that the tiger needs to live in a jungle, with lots of trees, flowers and plants. 

The urban jungle appears to be taking over the street . . .



 


Surfing down the street!



Virtual Paintout is a monthly artists' challenge that uses Google Maps Street View as a source of inspiration. 

Every month, artists gather to focus on a different place, and share their art.
