In the midst of a busy day at work in the laboratory I got out for lunch hour to make this quick painting of the Maisonneuve bike, approximately where it begins here in NDG. In the midground is the back side of the Snowdon bakery with graffiti, and in the background are some of the apartments on Harley Street and blowing trees. I made a few adjustments to my palette, I put on PO73 pyrrole orange and moved the isoindo yellow up to the green section. I also added raw sienna to the green section. Those changes were to 1. have a good orange for painting pylons, and 2. brighten up the green mixes. I had tried using orange with green but it goes a bit muddy. It is subtle, but the greens in this paintings are sparkling and minty.
