Since I’ve sworn off politics, I’ve found that it had been a huge time suck in my life. I spent way too much time checking in on Huffpost, Politics Daily, Politico and the like when I could have been doing something more productive—like plucking my eyebrows or flossing my teeth.
That being said, since I have more time on my hands now, I had no excuse not to do another entry for the Virtual Paintout for January, located in lovely Corsica this month.
Ever since I’ve been doing these I thought it would be fun to paint people waiting at a bus stop and was always on the lookout for some interesting characters. I happened upon a couple of ladies at a bus shelter at 10 Cours Napoleon, Ajaccio, Corsica and although I’m sure I haven’t done them justice, at least I’ve gotten my bus stop fixation out my system for now. haha

I Tried Being Tasteful... 
Maybe they’re on the way to the Boulevard Paoli to meet that sassy woman you captured looking in the shop windows.
I have such fun looking at these!

This is fun – I was actually looking for people in Corsica, but I didn’t find any!
I know how you feel about poitics. I used to compulsively search the same sites you mention, and lately I seem to havelost interest.

Thank you so much for your comment! I love the paintings you’ve done for the Virtual Paintout. Yes, it takes a lot of “driving” around on street view to come up with interesting folks to paint. That’s why I mainly stick to the city streets–that, and the fact that I’m a highly UN-qualified landscape painter! 🙂
As for politics—meh. It’s not worth the raise in my blood pressure at this point. Thanks for stopping by.
