Park Extension Storefront

Park Extension is a neighborhood located adjacent to Jarry Park and North of the Mile End area of Montreal. It is a very colourful, multicultural area with many interesting looking storefronts including this dress shop. The fabrics had really bright red, magenta, and orange with turquoise and blue accents. The rest of the scene was composed of muted pastel versions of those colours. A family passing by stopped to watch me paint for a few minutes so I tilted the paper towards them so they could get a good view of the brushwork. Most folks either ignore me, or sometimes they look at the scene trying to figure out what is so interesting. Unfortunately it started to rain, and with severe thunderstorms in the forecast I packed it in and rode home. Incidentally it did not rain very much!
