At the east side of Terry Fox park on st Jacques street, there is a view of the side of a large manor house that probably serves as a truck stop office or something. The entire yard was full of concrete blocks, blue tarps, green palettes, and a heap of pylons thrown on. What was once a stately manor is now an industrial storage lot. The top of the house was impressive, there were three ornate windows set upon a greenish roof. With rain on the way I headed back home after this one. To do the bricks, I used a mix of red ochre (PR101) with pyrol red (PO73), then washed in some pale green here and there to give the bricks a natural look. Simple hatch strokes were used to give the illusion of bricks.
