This is the lower portion of an old warehouse-style construction supply building that might be derelict now, although it shows up on google maps as a bedding store. Long shadows were being cast across rue st Patrick from right to left. For the brick colours I used burnt sienna (PR101) with pyrol red (PR254/PY57) and some pyrol orange in places (PO73). After all the strong green from the last painting I posted, it was nice to paint one with all the reds. I am planning a bigger bike ride this coming Saturday across the bike path on Champlain bridge in order to paint the st Jacques river. In preparation I will likely take a few days off from painting and cycling to charge the batteries now that my bike is all fixed up.
