“Using a reference photo from the entrance of Plaza Ontario, I can get started on the piece.  I’m trying to recreate the kind of nostalgic essence and style of Norman Rockwell’s timeless artwork.  I’m going to take a little trip back in time, and create  a window-shopper holiday scene.  But first, it’s down to perspective lines, vanishing points, and rough work.  After laying down some two-point perspective (which I”ve avoided like the plague since high school!), and exagerating the scale of the entrance, I think I’m ready to start blocking in our cheerful holiday shoppers.”
