View down Drummond Street

Heading up to the top of Mount Royal, I stopped midway up the staircase looking down on Drummond Street. In the distance there was a tiny sliver of the Champlain bridge book-ended by two skyscrapers. The rest of the scene had fall colours, parked cars, and a plunging perspective on the street. The whole point of the painting was the bridge, at first it is hard to notice but then you see it. I kept the river water white (plain paper) to emphasize the glowing light. The orange tree in the foreground was done with pyrol orange (PO73) and several other fall colours dabbed in while wet.
