On my way to the dentist I stopped in Outremont park for a quick painting under the trees, looking at the big fountain pool. The fountain was not actually running, so the water was quite peaceful until someone's kid jumped in and ran around. Pretty sure this wasn't meant to be a kids wading pool it looked pretty dirty and the water had a pea-soup colour. Anyways, the composition features half of the wading pool in a semi-circle, and a park bench at the top to complete the design. I wanted a flat feel to the design, but with obvious depth. The Japanese masters from the 19th century were able to do those kinds of designs, I think it worked out okay here. Oh yeah, and no cavities!
