After work I got back on the bike fully equipped and threw myself out at the city to see what I could find. Reaching the artificial beach with a view of the Cartier bridge, there were numerous powerboats heading upstream. The blue of the umbrellas is more cyan, I made it with blue sapphire (PB15) and some green viridian (PG7).

Speaking of throwing oneself at the city, there is a zip line in Old Montreal where people can zoom across overhead. In the background there are the circus tents of the Cirque du Soleil. They are showing Luzia, I made a few paintings of the sign and tents during
the day and
at night. There is not much that I have not painted by now.

The sun was setting on Old Montreal, it created some neat tangerine orange highlights and dark browns and greens. I went for an abstract look here. Just behind me was a stage playing country music... it made me want to paint fast, because of the beat, and because its not my favorite genre! There was also a poutine festival going on... that's french fries with gravy and cheese curds.
