After the race II - final step... not painting per se but something about painting!

As I was finalizing this painting on rather shaky grounds for me, the "image maker" kicked in... this is when everything goes, short of stepping on a canvas with dirty feet... in this instance, to get some warm purplish greys!

The question is: "is this painting?"

Hi Ron You've done a great job on this i love the perspective.
when you click on the picture the first image that comes up is very cool. That in itself as a different cropping would be a great painting too!

True Amber...by the way, your own unusual cropping of the figure has been an eye opener for me! I also visited Monette Leger's web site, an extraordinary artist as well and a great communicator...

Yeah Monette is very talented. I found out we are related My maiden name is Leger too.:) You and your family should take a vacation to Shediac this summer. The beaches here are great

Leger: a powerhouse of a family it seems (I saw Viola in Montreal some years ago!). We have a vacation scheduled in Ontario this summer so we have to take a rain check. Next year could be possible though. I've enjoyed Shediac immensely the couple of times I've been there. It would be great to see your art in person and meet the artist as a bonus...
