Greene Avenue goes from Westmount down the hill to the highway eventually. It provides a good view of the distant horizon and the suburban areas around downtown Montreal. Painting distant horizons requires a good amount of blue paint, keeping in mind that the blue you see when painting will be significantly less intense once it dries. The crumbly texture in the sky is due to the salt crystalizing. If you could see this paining in real life, the sky actually sparkles. Now that the weather is above zero, I may not need to add salt to the water anymore.
