I am a 41 french painter, and for my friends I have made a GE file about 200 watercolours I have painted around the world since 1991, with, for the most part of them, a vignette of the painting, and the link to my website page where the painting can be seen enlarged. I was thinking I could also share it with the GE community. So this is it !
01/09/2008 : four new ones : Paris, Strasbourg, and somewhere near the sea in north of France.
04/15/2008 : I had not updated this post since almost a year. Yet I went to Istanbul in may 2007 (4 drawings), in Creta last week (11 drawings) and I had made 6 or 7 drawings from places in Paris and France last summer. So the file is now totally updated.
04/27/2007 : At last the 2007 season has begun ! So, five new paintings in april : two of paris (Bridge of Arts and Luxembourg garden), one of Salon of provence (yet without colour) and two from Sisteron, in south of France.
03/08/2007 : I had forgotten one of Paris, place des Vosges, made in 2001. Fixed. At last spring is coming ! Soon, i'll go and paint new ones, especially in Paris, and especially in the 20th district .
09/04/2006 : I've added the 13 ones I've made this summer, in France, between Conques and Moissac. And the vignettes are not anymore directly in the file but there is a link to them on my website. So that the kmz file is lighter and above all, when the Google earth database is updated, the vignettes will appear... whereas it is not the case for now. But I'm glad I am in the DB anyway !
07/19/2006 : I've added two new ones of Paris, but most important, I have modified the classification of the paintings. Indeed, who cares about their dates ? Here, we are in a geographical tool. So, I've made a geographical classification.
07/05/2006 : a little new one of my family house's garden in north of France. Next august I will make some on the Compostela route (between Conques and Moissac, in France), and then I will have a little exhibition in La Chaise Dieu (still in France !)
05/26/2006 : I have added three new ones : a house in Dreux (Normandy), a village in very south of France (near Perpignan) and Paris (locks of Canal St Martin ). Enjoy !
04/18/2006 : I have updated the file as Dorseyland suggested it : the vignette itself is now the link to the matching web page.

there no watercolours in Les Baux de Provence (croquis) (2004) Château d'Ussé (2004) Sidi Bou said en Tunisie (2004) Marken (2004) Mosquee de Kairouan (2004) Vaud : Datcha (2003)
is Marseille- rue du Bourdon you last work.? I love last one
thanks ! i am now adding the web page reference for some watercolours, on my site. For some of them i have to scan the painting and add on the GE file. For other ones, i have not the painting anymore, and i have no scan And for the last ones, they are too ugly ! Especially the ones i made in US in 1995.
But it would have been a much better experience if we would have seen much bigger pictures instead of thumbernail look alike. May be you have avoided it due to copyright issue.
thanks a lot for your comment and for the rating ! I am really glad of your interest. I have fixed the problem about Amiens but i in "my places" the picture was the good one. But when i saved the file there was this mistake whatever the picture i put in the description. So i had to delete the Amiens placemark and create it again.
best regards
and thanks for this marvelous tool /toy which is Google earth.
Elisabeth, this is truly an inspiring collection of placemarks. Your artwork is beautiful!
I've written a story about your collection at the Google Earth Blog.
Here's the story, and here's a screenshot of your placemarks:
