The Rideau Canal skateway opened this morning. It was cold, but I was able to sit at a sunny table out of the wind and sketch for a few minutes. At -16 C you can get away with this if you move fast, but soon your hand seizes up and starts to really hurt. I wouldn't even try to paint at that temperature. The watercolour was applied at home.
This is the change shack and Beavertail concession at 5th Avenue. Beavertails are a sort of cinnamony, gooey donut that is very popular with schoolkids and also seems to be memorable to tourists. They were selling well and the girls in the foreground were sharing one.
