At last, I painted a scene of the Greenspot restaurant which I have painted many times before, its just up the street from Atwater Market. The roof is with a mix of viridian hue (PG7) and phthalo blue (PB15) and some indo blue (PB60), similar to what I used for the
turquoise car in Brossard earlier in the day. Instead of Coke on the sign I put my initials. Today, I painted 21 paintings, including several in the larger 8 x 10" format like this one. Its not about the count though, I wanted to finish strong with some quality paintings that meant something. Sure, I could make 50 paintings a day of fire hydrants in NDG but what's the point? Today took several days of preparation that entailed resting the legs, getting the bike repaired, stocking up on supplies, and leaving early in the morning with enough food and water. I hope you enjoyed reading about my Montreal/Brossard adventure today, and I might just take it easy tomorrow. Just noticed I spelled restarant wrong, must have been tired!
