Peak2Peak

The artistic license mentioned in the
title refers to the fact that, although the P2P gondola spans the distance
between Blackcomb and Whistler Mountains, you can’t actually see the towers,
let alone the cable, from the spot the reference photo for this picture was taken on the other side of
the valley.
I’ve included the Olympic Sliding
Centre, just to the left of the centre of the painting. Not surprisingly, it
can’t really be seen from that distance either.
I wrote about the Peak2Peak gondola
back in 2009 (the title of the post was ‘72 days to go!’ referring to the
upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics held at Whistler). Here’s the picture I painted
at the time – I used to paint more carefully.
