Griffintown train bridge
Posted: April 28, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 5 Comments »When I don’t have a lot of time to sketch I end up going to the same place in Pointe Claire — down by the lake near the church. I think I have circled the same block a hundred times looking for things to paint. I haven’t counted how many posts were done on that block but there are most certainly a few dozen. On the weekend when I have a bit more time (and there’s no traffic!) I can head downtown for some new sketch material. This was painted in the south part of Griffintown, looking up towards downtown.
Hey Shari! I know exactly where that is. You could have dropped in on Matthieu…..he lives in the Lowney building!! Great sketch. Where do you get your sketch pads?
That’s so funny Francine. There are so many new buildings in that area and so many cranes too! I get my sketchpads from Amazon. Much cheaper than at the local art store. I use Moleskine Aquarelle, mostly.
Thanks Shari! Have a great weekend!! Say hi to Spiro and the boys!
Another great composition. And you have brought together so many urban elements, even the hint at something growing at the base of the overpass. Love it!
You’re right. There was a little shrub in the midst of all that concrete.
