When I walked around Little Italy late yesterday afternoon looking for a spot to sit down and paint I quickly realized that I must sit somewhere out of the wind as the temperature was dropping fast. By the time I completed this 8 1/2 x 11 in watercolor my fingers were freezing, It's a wonder the paint didn't freeze on the paper. The beautiful fall colors and late afternoon light on this historical building seen looking south from near the corner of Henri-Julien and Mozart begged me to paint it. The red car parked in the right spot seemed to add just the correct fall color accent.
Speaking of accent, if you wish to see a published sketch that I drew on site at the Jean-Talon Market last summer, visit http://www.accenti.ca/ ACCENTI -The Magazine with an Italian Accent - and you might be tempted to subscribe to this wonderful magazine which is published every season.
