Hoan Bridge as Seen from Sail Loft Spirits and Dining on Erie Plaza in 3rd ward

Lake park is NOT located at 500 N Harbor Drive. That is near Discovery World. Pleasant breeze off the water. Restaurant not real busy (moderate amount of people eating outside) as it was a week night but I could see this area getting really busy on the weekend, holidays, and Summerfest.

Met up with Al, Cathy, Roger, and Ame.

Traffic was a bear going there at 5 and really bad getting home. Express backed up so took St. Paul to 35st to National Ave (backed up at MillerWay, maybe a train?) so jogged over on street behind Walmart Market and took Greenfield Ave the rest of the way.

Used titanium white, CP Cadmium Yel Medium (Wanted a more orangey yellow for bridge), Phthalo Blue-Green Shade to match the sky color and Burnt Sienna for red. No real bright reds here. Used damp paper towel on palette, mixed paints 1:1 with Behr Faux Glaze and sprayed occasionally with spray bottle so paints would not skin over or dry out due to wind and 90F temperature.
