View from Summit Park, Fall

Summit park is in Westmount near the top of the mountain. There is a viewing platform with a view of downtown Montreal and the river which is lined with condo towers. A lot of people were here today taking pictures and enjoying the fantastic weather. In the foreground was a sumac trees and other large trees, which seemed to dissolve into the puzzle-like city and into the background. I started with a red-blue-yellow wash from top to bottom, then started adding the trees while moist. As the painting dried I layered over the building details and foreground. This painting was on the larger format, 9 x 12" cold press, it is a block of paper from Fabriano.
