Day 3 of the trip to the East side of the island promised much rain on the return, and a stiff wind. I stopped at one last park to make a painting, it was a lovely cool morning and the sun starting to shine. The locals were showing up here with their coffee to enjoy the view. Having a good nights sleep helped my brush stay true and colours shine. I didn't even realize that there were two boats in the distance, overlapping closely, until I was nearly finished the painting and one started to drift from the other. I used all the knowledge from the previous
longest day of painting. I like this painting it is really immersive.

I stopped a few times, and got lost in a labyrinth of bike path detours downtown, but finally emerged dry and unscathed. It had started spitting rain drops, but then abated. I decided to give the new Vendome station entrance a go, you can also see the old station at the right of the painting. It was overcast that day, I should go back when the sun is shining. But tomorrow (Tuesday) I will start my next adventure... to the West island.
