Dagwood's is one of a few restaurants in the area, it specializes in submarine sandwiches and what else I don't know since I've only been there once a long time ago. The building is a yellow ochre colour, made from some aluminum siding or vinyl cladding perhaps, with green awnings. The surrounding buildings are typical brick colours ranging from a dark umber, raw sienna, and burnt sienna. Its a scene I have painted a few times already, in this instance I was standing on the sidewalk across from where Sherbrooke merges with Monkland on a sharp angle. The wind was very chilly today, which was a surprise given the nice blue sky and sunny day. Without salt in the water the paint was sluggish, a little like using crayons in a way. Luckily it turned out okay, I quite like the effect overall.
