Artwork 2 Progress 3
Now the top layer of trees are under control, I can add in the background mountains. They are from a separate landscape, but I feel they are the right fit for this piece to create greater depth for the visual journey. .

Artwork 2 Progress 2
Here I am starting the process of the trees by knocking colours that will show through the final layer very subtly. It is a messy jigsaw puzzle pulling these trees into line. .

Once again, this stage is just figuring out the composition with a monochromatic approach.

Artwork 2 - Design
For some reason, paper boats have always intrigued me. Whether it is from disturbed childhood fears about Pennywise the clown, or the reminiscent good feelings from mucking around with my brothers racing gutter boats in the rain. I love bringing these things back into my work.
Luckily I have visited the perfect place for this boat to set sail.

Natural Bridge, AB.
Olga and I spent a good couple of hours here taking reference photos and enjoying the sound of the roaring water.

Moving on from my first artwork, I thought I would share some of the inspiration behind the second. These mountains are from a lookout behind Banff. So majestic!

Artwork 1 Progress 5
I think this piece is in a good place to put it away for a while and come back in a few weeks with fresh eyes. .
