I did this painting in 1993.
It is acrylic on canvas (24x36)

In the top of this series of photos you will see the cork-board on the wall (nice color wall paper!) to the left of the painting. On it is a photo I took of the location for a reference.

I start by prepping the canvas and then painting the gradient color for the sky.

I then choose the most distant background image and start working forward.

I add and add until I get to the foreground. In many cases I\'ll paint foreground elements over the background. This way I can let the elements flow more naturally.

Since this is free-hand painting and I didn\'t grid the photo or the canvas, it is not a perfect re-creation.

Eventually, some two-three days later (spending between 4-6 hours a day) it is finished.

I am going to do this with a new composition soon. Except I am going to time-lapse film the entire process.
