Pleased to have been commissioned to make a painting in Collingwood. The request was for the view from the top of Blue Mountain down to the town and to the grain silos - the town icon. Its a scene I have painted many times but only in the spring and winter.
The client wanted a splash of fall colour and the Collingwood scene from above.

For the commission I decided to create an oil and an acrylic. Each with a different foreground.

The client chose the oil. Wonderful couple to work with making doing a commission a joy.
And I love the Acrylic... composition and perspective, Terrific!
