Here are a few paintings from June that escaped the blog, sometimes I feel like the painting is not up to snuff or doesn't fit the theme of the blog at the time. The bridge in question is a busy commuter bridge than connect Ville st Pierre, which is part of Lachine, with st Patrick street. At one point in history this bridge would lift up and down to let boats though but it is long since frozen in its down state. They recently gave it a fresh coating of the green paint which is likely viridian or maybe titanium white with phthalo green. The structure itself is very complex and I have only attempted to paint it on a few occasions.

When the bus went by quickly, it was a sensational effect, it looked like the bus was suspended over the water like a magic trick. The composition could have done a better job of conveying the space, perhaps a vertical (portrait) format would have worked. Luckily its a really easy location to go back to and there are no shortages of busses crossing the bridge.
