PD3 Blake Canmore-Canadian Rockies

The finish line, the end of the road, the closing of a book........finishing a painting. It is said that we must enjoy the journey as we move along, and not rush to the destination. I have to say that in the last few stages of a painting, I sometimes am in a rush to complete it.To step back, be happy with the end result, is rewarding. I know I am at the journeys end when I sign the piece.

In the final stages of PD3, I put a bit more detail on the peaks. I also focus a bit on the bus, laying down a darker brown to capture the canvas on the upper cover. I want to show that PD3 is a gathering place, so I add bikes into the image. With my drawing pencil, I graft in lines on the ground, capturing the cinderblock base that everything rests on. One of the final stages of PD3 is to take a fine, permanent pen and lay down lines to capture the detail of the bus, the umbrellas and the furniture.

It's time to sign PD3.

Thank you for being part of the journey.
