Down at City Fruiterie there are some good views of the Harley street neighborhood, Westhaven. I stood under the overhang in front of the store looking across the street to make this paining. It was raining steadily which created drops on the road and the parked car. The usual traffic was going by. Some of the locals came by and took a look, one fellow made a video of me painting, and so I put in two figures in the reflection of the car window, me and the fellow. He seemed to be quite amazed by the feat. Its one of the important aspects of painting on location, to show how artistic the scenery can be to the local people. I used to ride my bike through NDG regularly and never appreciated it until I made so many paintings during the pandemic.
