On my way to the bulk store in Little Italy I stopped off at the Jean Talon market and made a painting of some of the outdoors shops. One of the shops was selling fresh oranges in the front while the neighboring shops appeared to be closed. Standing in the middle of a parking lot, the fierce wind was battering me and blowing the painting surface up and down the whole time. Somehow I held on to it and completed the painting in the bitter conditions. To get the structures correct I slowed down my pace substantially until the outlines were completed. I never use pencil, instead, I just use a small #2 brush with dilute grey paint.
