While riding over the Cartier bridge last week I noticed a big open parking lot next to the U Haul which is part of the Molson Brewery structure. Its still intact and being used, not sure if the plan is to demolish it too. At the end of the parking lot there is a patch of open space with a view of the bridge overhead, the park across the river, and the train depot. It was a bit much to cram into one painting, in fact, the bridge was probably twice as high relative to the park. Its such a good spot to paint I might go back, although its not easy to get to. Instead of painting the bridge accurately, I used abstract forms to represent the shapes and rhythm. Its a neat way to depict the bridge I think.
