Cheerleaders Showering

Skating Skating on the Canal "under the Bank Street bridge / Skating on the canal under the bridge of the Bank Street

Here's an oil painting of a watercolor sketch That I posted recently. I find it interesting to compare mediums and to see the changes that have been introduced. My oil painting took several more hours to complete than the watercolour sketch - but to be fair, the watercolour was only intended as a quick sketch of the scene; something to get my creative juices going.
As for the Rideau Canal, I'm always amazed at its expanse at this spot - it's like a huge lake. When you're skating there alone on a weekday, its like the whole world is one big skating rink!
Oil painting on canvas board, 11 x 14 inches (28 x 35.5 cm).

Voici une peinture à l'huile d'une esquisse en aquarelle que j'ai publié récemment. Je trouve intéressant de comparer les deux peintures pour voir les changes that were introduced. My oil painting took several hours longer than the watercolor - but to be fair, the watercolor was intended solely as a quick sketch of the scene, something to inspire me.
On the Rideau Canal, I am always amazed at the breadth of the canal at this place - it's like a huge lake. When you skate there all alone on weekdays, it is as though the world is a big skating rink!
