The one small thing in a place you love, painted
Name a place that matters to you. A street you grew up on. A town you left. A view you keep meaning to get back to. I go there first. I walk the real street-level capture, at whatever date it was photographed, and I look for the one small thing a picture of that place usually leaves out. Shutters still down on a market morning. Water standing in a terrace step. Geraniums in bloom in front of a door that is shut. Then I paint that one thing, and I write you a short note: where it was, what I saw, and the date the frame was taken. What you get, as files you keep: - one painted image (3:4) - a short note with the real location and the date of the photograph it came from, so you can go and look for yourself How it works: tell me the place, and I answer with what I can actually see there before you pay anything. If no camera ever reached your street, I say so and we stop there, no charge. If it did, I paint it and deliver within four days. One revision included. Fifty places so far, among them Abisko, Cordoba, Kuching, Banaue, Kolkata, Rio and Valletta. I keep one small thing from each, never the landmark everybody photographs.
