Gare Central, Montreal, Quebec

Gare central was painted on location some 10 years ago down at the train station, this scene is of a restaurant that is right on the concourse, it has an open concept so there is no roof just some beams to create space. It is filled with buffet style food and tables full of fruits and muffins and flowers. I has some time to kill waiting for a train, so tried to put in as much detail as possible.

I talked about suggesting detail before in the blog, this is a good example of it, the bricks, the food the people, it is all done in a fast and casual way. By doing this the painting gets a fresh energetic look, not to mention you can get the thing done in a reasonable time. People tend to move around a lot too, so painting fast helps in that sense.
