Shortly after moving back to Quebec I made a bike ride along the river path making it as far out as Lachine and Point Claire. The island seemed so big and mysterious back then, and it remained so until my end-to-end cycling trip last year when I explored the whole island. I am not entirely sure when and exactly where this painting was done, my cataloguing did not start until 2020, so I supposed it was done in 2006. Back then I was still using cerulean blue in the sky and shadows, and there is a prolific use of phthalo green (PG7). The pine trees are a combination of burnt sienna (PR101) and sap green (a convenience mix). It is a neat painting, the tile roof looks realistic, it is clearly summer.
