Description
The Fortress of Louisburg National Historical Park on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia was one of the many highlights of our Adventure Caravan RV tour of the Gaspe, Maritime Providences and Newfoundland. This fortress is undergoing massive reconstruction, done in such fine detail and craftsmanship it is hard to believe many of the structures that appear to be century's old are indeed quite new. Individuals in period costumes add to the authenticity of the complex. As with many of my paintings I take photos of my subject matter to use later back in my studio. This image is made up of two photos. The interior of one of the large buildings served as the backdrop for the young girl figure. I found her outside on the parade grounds watching intently as two gentlemen pondered the correct loading of a large musket. Putting the two images together made for a much safer experience than the danger she found out on the parade grounds. This piece is done on illustration board. I used an airbrush extensively on this painting. It had been many years since I've used an airbrush. I intend to utilize it more in future paintings. You can see its use indicating the local color of the walls reflecting on the white of her apron. It has a nice soft blending quality.
