From plein air sketch to studio commission


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.
