Finally, the weather was great yesterday, mostly blue sky, lots of sun, and minimal wind. I took my bike out to around the Vendome metro area, this scene is the cross road of Maisonneuve bike path at Decarie Blvd that heads up to the station, and to the right would be to the Glen mega hospital. There is a little triangle of lawn with some pine trees away from the bike path where I found a place to sit by myself in social isolation. Some kids still rode their bikes up and around me just to see what I was doing. Can't a guy find some peace and quiet in the middle of a pandemic?
After that painting, I turned right, rode down past the hospital, and turned onto the road that goes to the new bridge along St. Jacques street that goes over the Decarie highway. I rode around looking for a good angle, and finally found a cul de sac with a direct view of the suspension part of the bridge. The sun was blasting down on the white paint creating pearlescent effects. I captured the shimmering colours with diluted tints of violet, yellow, and blue.
