Every year or so I paint this scene of the train bridge, there happens to be a great spot to set up the bike, and a great view. The bridge is done with indo blue (PB60) and burnt sienna (PR101), some purple (PV55) and black (PBk6). When I added the sun-glow to the top left using dilute yellow ochre (PY43) and yellow (PY154) the painting really popped.

We have all sorts of pylons in Montreal, including these orange and neon ones. To create the contrast, I surrounded the pylons in dark green and grey, with the heavy iron train bridge looming over top. Pylon paintings are quite typical of Montreal, I have even sold a few over the years.
