The weather yesterday was cold and overcast. I made it down to the Terry Fox Park area on st Jacques street by bike, and did a painting of the new bridge that goes over the Decarrie. Its not so new any more, they opened it right around 4 or 5 years ago. First I applied the greyish background and infused it with various shades of blue, purple and coral red. As it dried I worked on the buildings and road using heavier looking earth colours. Everything was so soggy that I had to wait until I got home and it dried, then I applied the light purple shadow on the tower, and the caramel-coloured trees. The size of the bridge tower is quite exaggerated here, it almost looks like the Washington Monument.
