What has roots that nobody sees and is taller than trees?
Up, up, up it goes, and yet never grows.
— JRR Tolkien
We had beautiful day, 21C with the sun shining on the plain and on the mountain… and almost no clouds. A blue sky I have not seen in awhile so I was quite happy to paint it today. One of my greatest difficulties is painting without any ink lines… I love drawing, especially with a fountain pen and to me to let go of that fine tool is scary! So I mustered my courage again and started painting my mountain in Rigaud. Well the first painting was quite overdone as I seem to want to compensate with the colour saturation due to the lack of ink lines -))) My second one is better even though overworked and most colours are too strong, but heck it is presentable.
Paper: Saunders Waterford CP 12″x12″
Location: Rigaud West, 4 km from the Ontario border.
Painting to see : Peindre pour voir 
Truly beautiful!

Very nice- l especially like the soft sky and the edge of the golden foothill sliding up against the dark green of the summit.
Incidentally I went to the Montreal Botanical Garden sketching session but could not find you. Did you go?

Hey! I had a blast getting myself in and out of Montreal-I definitely feel an accomplishment in that-and I thoroughly enjoyed sketching in the garden and meeting some of the group. I’ll come again when i can and hope to see you then.
