Small town
Posted: December 8, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 9 CommentsI love old towns with main streets — towns that are a bit run down — and I am always searching for places in Montreal that look like this. That’s why I love to sketch in the old part of Ste. Anne de Bellevue. Lots of little clapboard houses, a boardwalk along the canal and a view of an island across the water. More like a bit of Maine or Massachusetts.
I have been painting with lots of purples these days and wanted to change my palette a bit. Today I used cerulean blue, cadmium red and lemon yellow. All fairly opaque colours that seemed to suit the grey day.

Definitely… this one is for keeps. It is totally gorgeous… soft and strong at the same time. I love it!!!
Glad you like it Jane! But this one is not for keeps, at least not for me. I’ve sold it already!!
There is something honest and unpretentious about streets like these.
