My friend Gail Slaughter who lives near Eureka California sent me a newspaper clipping about 
the Virtual Paintout.  I decided to try submitting, and this is the first painting I did:
|  | 
| Sequoia Park Zoo, Eureka California small watercolor on Canson Paper
 by me, Mary Stebbins Taitt
 | 
The instructions said to go to google maps and using the streetview, choose a view.  I had never done that before, and I thought I'd done it but it turned out to be a photo--I didn't realize it, being unfamiliar with the google maps and streetviews, until it was too late.  So I can't submit it.
So I did another one:
|  | 
| Redwood Highway (101), Eureka, California by Mary Stebbins Taitt
 | 
Unfortunately, being the end of the year and the end of the month, both of these were done more hastily than I would prefer to do them.  But we are out of town visiting and I have limited art supplies and limited time.
