Back Lane, Winnipeg
oil
6" x 4" (15.2 x 10.2 cm) ■


Another painting done from a photograph. Yesterday's painting was also from a photograph.

Over the next couple of weeks I'll be posting a number of paintings done from photographs. I'll try to post some of the photographs along with the paintings.

This painting was done on a brownish ground, as you can see. A mid-tone ground usually speeds up the painting, and it means that you can get away with less detail.

The back lane of the painting runs behind our street, and is pretty typical of Winnipeg back lanes in winter.
