Might as well close out April with a strong 60 blogs! Thanks for those who have been following, the view counts make a positive difference to my artwork. In this painting, I was standing next to my bike on location, looking north west along Atwater Avenue. The Alexis Nihon mall is on the left, the old Forum is just visible on the right. In the background up on the side of Mount Royal is the imposing Montreal General hospital. I was mostly inspired by the people hanging out under the entrance to the mall, but by the time I set up they had dispersed. Just an Indigenous man wearing blue and red and walking on crutches made it into the painting from the initial group. As usual, a flow of pedestrians and rows of cars completed the scene. I signed in yellow ochre on top of a car windshield on the bottom right.
