Down at the Port of Montreal, which is adjacent to the Old Montreal area, there are often boats moored along the narrow spit of land that houses Habitat 67. In this case, it was a massive 3 master that looked heavy duty, maybe it was a fishing or research vessel. I was looking down on the ship which gave a good view of all the details of the bow. I really just wanted to paint water, and there was plenty of it in the background.

Further towards Old Montreal and there sits the Daniel McAllister, a retired tugboat. According to the all-knowing internet, this vessel was built in 1907 which would have been during the time the Lachine canal was an active shipping and receiving conduit. Its been preserved for tourism now, lots of people like to take pictures of it, and today I did a painting. The main theme was water and how it reflected the background elements.

Continuing on the water theme, here is a view of the massive cruise boat docking tower in the background, with an old fashioned lamp and concrete blocks in the foreground. The water had a pale turquoise appearance with variations of green ripples from the tower's reflection. The Cartier bridge can be seen off to the left center. The aft of a boat can be seen to the lower right, its part of the health spa on the water.
