Now back at home under the ‘heat dome” enveloping most everyone in the USA, it’s a good time to finish off sketches started last week during a quick trip (in much, much cooler weather) to Quebec, Canada.

Of course, lots of people had the same idea to visit Montreal and Quebec City last week but in general the crowds were quite manageable. Though it was a short trip, there was time to listen to music on the Place Jacques-Cartier, check out some amazing waterfalls, see the mesmerizing “Pompeii” exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and buy some watercolor paper made by the “Bee Paper Company” in Canada to add to my small collection of watercolor papers.
The rest of the sketches I’ve made while on this short trip are still in pencil drafts but, with the heat dome effects (100 degrees or more!) projected to last a few more days, it seems likely I’ll have a chance to get to them. So, until then…
