Fire truck depot

Out in Hochelaga neighborhood, there is a large fire truck depot, with about a dozen or so parked out in a lot. Usually fire trucks wont stay around long enough for me to make a painting, or they are in the station. To complete the composition there was a large robin-egg blue factory in the background with a toasty looking dumpster in the foreground. No graffiti here, but I replaced the fire engine number with my inititals and date. The sky had a yellowish glow today, with purple-grey clouds. To make the cloud shadow I mix indo blue (PB60) with magenta (PV55) cut with some earth paints like burnt sienna (PR101) or raw sienna (PBr7).
