You'll find an interactive map of Mexico City, Mexico above, though you can't access the little yellow pegman from that map. Use the link below it "View Larger Map", and the map will appear on your monitor; drag the little Yellow Man onto the map, step into Mexico City and the adjacent area, and start exploring. Find an interesting subject/area. Change it all you want. Or paint it straight up as you see it. Instructions are in the sidebar to the right. Any questions, ask 'em in the comments or email me directly.

ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments ladies. Glad you folks have joined in the fun. Already some great pieces this month, and it's not even half over yet.
ReplyDeleteBill, I enjoyed taking part in this challenge for the first time. What a great idea! Thanks for choosing a sunny and warm place for December :)
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Rosa. I'm happy you are enjoying Mexico. Thanks for participating.
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for sending so many Merry Christmas greetings. I appreciate them all, and hope that this season is wonderful for all of you!
ReplyDeleteAh, such a lively site when it's soggy and cold outside here. Great choice for December! GREAT scenes chosen. . . not simply a setting, but it's obvious exactly what happens on each street.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog today and I loved it.
ReplyDeleteWe can have the entire world to draw and paint by Googlemap .
Your idea to invite people to do that is awesome.
Great artists here.
Congratulations!
I want to participate too.
Mexico City is waiting...
Have a Happy New Year!

I have just found your blog and it is fantastic. I can't wait to try the challenge.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blog and challenge! This month has had a wonderful turnout. We continue to grow. And there is really some amazing art being accomplished.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea. I'm joining a little late this month, but I can't wait to hear which city you've selected for next month.
