A chilly wind brought in the month of October. I found myself up on Côte Saint-Luc picking up some Persian-style kebabs at Mazzeh, and made a quick painting of the fire station on the north side of the street. The sky was painted first so that it could dry, then I worked on the driveway and structure of the station. As the sky dried I overlaid the silhouette of the trees using a mix of carbon black (PBk6) with dabs of green (PG36) and yellow (PY184). Then I could put the fire truck in, and over-paint with the garage door window frames. Lastly, some colour highlights in the flood lights, yellow posts, and fire hydrant between the two doors.
