The sky last night was an unusual collection of pastel colours. Lilac, blue, green and shades of yellow could be seen depending on the angle. That seems to happen with heavy cloud cover in the winter, you get light reflecting from a distant sun set along with the city lights of Montreal. In the painting I tried to capture the subtle interplay of the pastel sky with the cream-coloured bricks of Souvlaki George, a nearby restaurant. At the very bottom of the scene there was a fence, and then a sidewalk but I ran out of space on the paper since I wanted to focus on the sky. Its starting to get lighter outside earlier, which is a good sign that winter is coming to an end.
