Here are the painting steps to this old juke joint.
Times a Wastin, Let's get Paintin.
Living in Alberta Canada the days tend to start getting pretty short when fall arrives. So those golden hours of artistic light get very precious.
That is where we meet our next Traveler Carrie Layne Mashon. Carrie lives and works there in Alberta and was kind enough to post some of here inviting photos for me to paint.

| Carrie's photo that inspired the painting |
 |
| The sketch on canvas to start. Here I've also painted in the darkest dark colors. These warm darks I will try and not touch too much through out the painting. |
 |
| Next up is to paint the next darkest colors. The dynamic mountain in the background really helps speed this painting along. The cool shadow is all blues and deep purples. |
 |
| Here the painting is totally blocked-in. OK it's blocked in now its time to make some adjustments. |
 |
| Done. I kind of got caught up in this one and didn't take pictures of a couple of steps. But I think you can see how the painting changes from the last image. |
Details from the painting
Framed and ready to go.
