Another humbling experience...With this one I would like the figure to blend with the background as if capturing a fleeting moment... the kind of effect that could be useful when painting Olympians in motion.

Another Charlevoix beach scene... getting a "head" start with difficulty!
After zipping through the first pass, I realized the head was too high and slightly out of proportion with the body. Ironically, it took a minute too correct this on the computer... but the better part of an afternoon to retrofit the head properly on canvas... to the tune of 1000 brush strokes it seemed.

Hey Ron
Just re-visited your blog again after sending the URL to two of my friends...
Congrats on the beach renditions... Nicole will find her way in a galary some day soon I would imagine.
I am anxious to see the Olympic series... should be very timely. Do you expect to do any winter scenes? I would imagine there would be a market for that in Quebec...
Best regards,
Paul
