Superhospital

The most striking feature of the Montreal skyline for the past few months has been the construction site of the MUHC superhospital. The six or seven giant cranes that hover over the area are visible from the highway that goes into downtown and for months I have been trying to find time to do a sketch of the site. I was nearby this afternoon and found a good parking spot but it wasn’t exactly the angle I wanted. The view from a distance is very dramatic because you look upwards at the site but I would have to stop in the middle of the highway to do that. So I had to settle for setting up my travel stool on a corner and doing a drawing from below. Far less interesting but infinitely safer.
