A few more lost and found paintings: buildings

Here are a few more lost and found paintings, they had been scanned but never made it to the blog for whatever reason. In this scene, the rain clouds were enveloping the top of the skyscraper. I tried to capture the effect with a wet-in-wet technique. Later on the same day I painted a similar scene down by the train bridge.

This was the first attempt at painting Montreal through the trees from Mount Royal looking south. The city buildings did not show very well but you can kind of get the idea that there are buildings behind the trees. Shortly after, I did a second version.

I must have blogged about this one, but could not seem to find it anywhere. It was done down by the Lachine canal some time in late August, looking up at the old Malt silos. Painting rust is always fun.

I did this one on the way back from a painting trip downtown, it shows boats in the water, with the Science Center in the background and a condo on the right. It may have been the same trip as when I did the touristy scene.

This was the first one I did during the house music festival down in peel basin, the sun was setting which created a warm glow on the clouds. After painting these Majestic Condos, I knew how many stories there were, but still had trouble getting it right. No matter, the greys glow, and the tinted windows play well off the cyan sky. Updating the catalogue has been a real chore this time, it is well over 5000 paintings now and I still have a large stack of about a hundred 6 x 7.5" paintings.
