The Process - CN Bridgewater © 1999  30" x 60" Oil on Panel

The following sequence of images illustrate some of the stages which result in a finished painting. This painting required more than twelve hundred hours from conception to completion.

An old truck sitting at a service station provided the core of the idea. The train station was later decided on as a suitable background; and the two young people were last to enter the composition.

This is the completed line sketch. The buyer commissioned both the painting and the finished drawing from this cartoon.
