I’m about to send this “double” painting off to Vancouver for display in the Federation of Canadian Artists show “Scenes from Western Canada.” What you’re seeing here is two separate cradled birch panels totalling 24” wide. I started in the studio drawing in the figure and applying some initial colour washes to set the stage. Then, I worked on location to paint the scenery and back again in the studio to finish up the figure and tie it all together. It was fun! The only hard part of the whole project was learning how to combine the two separate photos of the finished work into a single digital image… but now I know!
