After painting the horse-officers doing crowd control, I kept walking towards downtown, and found this view as seen from Mount Royal park.The hill side in the foreground was new, unbroken snow, with a rainbow's worth of colour. A strong amber lamp in the back of me cast a peachy glow, which faded to deep blue, and then a greenish glow from the street lights. The road was filled with cars and I could still hear them honking in the aftermath of the soccer game. As I painted this, the horse painting was still drying so I had to be really careful not to smudge it. After completing this painting I walked down to Place des Arts to get the metro home, and I carried the horse painting the whole time still waiting for it to dry. Glad I did though, that one turned out fantastic. And this one is cool too, you really see all the night lights and colours of the city of Montreal.
