Disappearing panorama
Posted: January 19, 2016 Filed under: Uncategorized 11 CommentsIt’s been a while since I sketched the view of Montreal from the 5th floor of the school where I work. I usually do this when I have a long break between classes, and that hasn’t happened in some time. But this semester I find myself with an excessively long break, and on brutally cold days like today when even painting in the car is not an option, this location is ideal. There’s a heater at my feet, a wide window sill for my paints and sketchpad, and often a group of students looking over my shoulder, chatting with me as I paint. It could be worse. On most days, the view is clearer, but there were snow squalls all day today so a soft apparition of the mountain appeared and disappeared as I painted. Magic.

So simple, Shari, but you manage to make it a winner. The trees really make the picture complete.

You need to remove that period at the end. Your sentence should read: “the mountain appeared and disappeared as I painted magic.” because everything you paint seems to be magical. 🙂

I like the lack of detail with this one. It has a nice sparse feel.
