Île d'Orléans
ink, oil, and pastel
8.9 x 8.9 cm (3.5" x 3.5")

This very small painting was done this Tuesday, across from a roadside casse-croute on the west shore of Île d'Orleans, just outside of Quebec City. (The St. Lawrence is considerably wider at Île d'Orléans than indicated in the painting.)

I added colour to the original ink drawing yesterday. It completely changed the character of the drawing, which was stronger in ink alone.
