Coronation Park
oil
6" x 7.75" (15.2 x 19.7 cm)


I seldom work from photographs, except perhaps when doing something like caricatures, where photographs are indispensable. Working from photographs just doesn't interest me a lot. However, every once in awhile I will do something using a photograph, if only to remind myself of how it's done. Here's the result: Coronation Park, along with the photograph from which it was taken.

Out of curiosity I deliberately did this painting as fast as I could. Forty minutes from start to finish, and I'm not impressed.
