A summer storm is rolling through as I put finishing touches on Peggy's Cove. Although it is 4pm the sky is dark to the west, lightning is dancing across the sky and the mountains are rumbling with distant thunder.
I add more layers of the Paynes grey, adding detail to the boats, the buildings and the docks. I'm getting close to finishing, and that is when you have to be careful not to overpaint your subject. I set the painting up on an easel and stand 5, 10 and 20 feet away to get a feeling of the detail and perspective, looking for areas that do not "pop".
It's been a great journey, a few more strokes of the brush and we will be done.
