Billy Bishop Airport

This painting was inspired by the view from Billy Bishop Airport looking back at the Toronto skyline.  The painting starts with artists tape attached to the linen.  Then I added a few layers of acrylic.  Next I alternated layers of drawing in pencil with oil paint. 

 Oil paint and pencil on acrylic on tape on linen, 36 x 48"
