Queen and Spadina

8 x 8 oil on canvas paper

So the big question is, did I maintain the atmosphere even with adding more colours to the picture? (See previous post) I think the limited palette conveys more "heat" from a hot sunny day. The other feels a little cooler. (to me)

Which painting shows more atmosphere? I'd love to hear your opinions.

Sunny Day, Queen and Spadina

I'm finding that more and more I like to do a study or two before I start a larger painting. This scene has many more colours than this, but I wanted to try for  atmosphere with a limited palette and then decide where to go from there. 

This is a very busy corner at Queen and Spadina.
