Just one painting today... geese on dock. As you can see there are geese on the dock. Most of them were either preening or swimming, so it is basically a goose beach. The weather is so nice that they are hanging out a bit longer in Montreal before migrating south. To paint this scene, I established the perspective on the dock and canal in the background then painted the outlines of the geese. Using raw sienna and burnt umber with carbon black, I created the typical beige black and white of the geese. It was really hot, the sun was beaming through the hazy atmosphere. And for the number of paintings today I was just joking, I actually set a personal record with seventeen paintings today! By coincidence, there are 16 geese depicted in the painting, and I went on to do 16 more paintings after this one.
