Lyndale Drive No.1
oil
4" x 6" (10.2 x 15.2 cm)



Another work from a photograph. The photograph from which it's taken is posted below.


I wasn't that concerned with reproducing the photograph exactly. I was more interested in producing an acceptable painting.

The painting took about forty-five minutes to paint. An ochre ground was laid on first, then the darks, and then the lights. Pretty basic.


Lyndale Drive runs along the Red River in Winnipeg. The view is looking south from Lyndale across the river.
