Cars were zipping over the bridge, and perpendicular along st Patrick on the other side of the Lachine canal. I've painted this scene many times with the billboard, partly because this is about as far as I can get in the winter when the bike path freezes over. The sun was almost down at this point, which created a light orange glow on the horizon.

These sumac trees were changing all sorts of colours, but I ran out of bismuth vanadate yellow on the palette and could not quite complete the effect as planned. Its a good location though, and easy enough to get to from the canal bike path. I was having all kinds of trouble with the paintings today for some reason, it seems the seasonal changes always brings about challenges, so I'll go ahead and blame it on the weather!
