On the way back from the final exam downtown, I stopped at the busy corner of Decarie and Maisonneuve Boulevards to make this painting of an overpass. It dips down under the bridge and then heads to Upper Lachine road. I was impressed by the sun struggling to get through the heavy overcast sky. The bridge also had interesting iron oxide earth colours. It was so cold today the paint was freezing up a little despite the salt in the water. The billboard said something else but as usual I replaced it with my initials, which are a lot easier to paint than all the complex text and pictures that tend to be on billboards.
Overcast Overpass, watercolour 5 x 7" cold press, December 2021 (No. 2951a)
