Sitting Back and Contemplating the Painting
Once I thought the painting was done, I sat back and contemplating it and the scene in front of me.

All the painting needed was a gentle knock on the back to remove loose pastel dust and light spray of fixative (it was going to be transported). I then left it in-situ so that I could come back after a while and check that it captured the essence of the scene I had selected.
