[By Marc Taro Holmes, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada]
Right now, I really want to be out there painting big huge oil
paintings. But February in Montreal is more like moleskine and pencil
weather. Last Tuesday was overcast, fairly warm, (around -3c), with a
strong wind – which meant we had perfect conditions for big fat flakes
of snow sticking to every surface. One of those days every tree becomes a
sculpture, and every sculpture becomes a ghost. A perfect day to park
in the cemetery and do a slow, sustained drawing.
