Listening to Gordon Lightfoot, and painting Gordon Lightfoot

I don't paint portraits, but I've been listening to Gordon Lightfoot for more than 40 years, 
and his music has been an inspiration while painting landscapes!
 
 'Canadian Railroad Trilogy' by Gordon Lightfoot




This is how he looked in the '70's 
(no I have never met him, but would love to some day)


I'm painting on birch wood




The Minstrel of the Dawn








I made a temporary brush in the shape of a maple leaf



The floor is filled with fallen maple leaves, it's autumn after all
