Start of New Series

Today I blocked in the background for the start of the first painting in my new series -Streets of Leduc. The building that will be most prominent in this particular painting will be the one that is currently grey/blue. It is the Leduc Antique Mall - a place that draws people from all over the region to view the engaging antique dishware, furniture, etc. A visit to the Antique Mall is more than just a shopping outing - it is an experience, and a dip into our ancestor's lives. Although any of these charming store fronts would make a great focal point, I had to start somewhere with this series, and I feel the Antique Mall is a worthy place to start. I'll show progress pictures regularly as I work on this painting.
The rest of this series will contain other noteworthy corners and street scenes, including scenes from the new skatepark. There I hope to capture some action scenes of the very talented and respectful young 'boarders, scooters and bikers' that I have met there as I have been researching this series.
