Hoping the drizzle would end eventually, I rode out to the old Molson Brewery and made a few paintings. Steady drizzle created an interesting textural effect, while some paint smearing added more energy. I got most of it done on location, just had to touch up the points on the bridge and add my initials.

While the other one dried I made this painting of an unusual wall and semi-circle gate with grating. Piles of snow remained. It looks like a tunnel entrance but may be some relic of a past industrial age. It is reminiscent of the Griffintown tunnel that was closed in the 90's.

Here is a close up, it was way too moist and I had to add all the brown at home, which unfortunately did not get the same rainy texture as the rest of the painting. Too bad I could not finish it on location but it was time to head home and good thing I did, it really started to pour by the time I got back to NDG.
