Ideally a Cool Place should be a “hot spot” of paintings and painters aggregation resulting from the popularity of the site. It may be a monument, a city, a forest, a protected landscape, a river or a whole country, etc, it depends on paintings subjects and spatial distribution. Also ideally a CP should be as concrete as possible: better a city than a country, better a forest than a state, etc.
Because of the size of the Paintmap community, most of the proposed CPs at this moment are due to the activity of one or a few painters, but this is not a problem to establish a CP.
The goal should be to fill the left part of the Paintmap screen (sixteen paintings) to define a CP, as in this example of the Highlands, Scotland
However we have also proposed CPs with a lower number of paintings just as a sort of attractor encouraging people to consolidate these artistic hot spots, as it is the recent case of Montreal, Canada:
Ideally, the CPs gallery would evolve towards a progressively smaller and separate spots but it is possible to find coexisting CPs at different scales. “Holland”, “Arnhem (Holland)” and “Utrecht (Holland)” are an example of this possibility:
So, there are many reasons and possibilities to propose a Cool Place as well as to propose a change of their present scale or its geographical identification.
Local painters should be the protagonists of this activity, up to this moment mostly carried out by us, the Paintmap Team.
Hoping to have your inputs!
