This summer in Québec the weather is balmy and usually 30 degrees. No excuse not to get out and sketch. One of my favourite spots is the Sanctuaire in Rigaud, free but accepts donations. Shady, peaceful and usually quiet except for a yell from youngsters finding Pokémon on their screen. It is a place of meditation. Quiet is the command here but miracles do happen and need to be celebrated.

Another cool spot, Parc Valois, 331 Avenue St. Charles,Vaudreuil-Dorion on the water has free parking and entrance.

Worth a visit, Parc Historique, Pointe-du-Moulin, Notre-Dame-de-I’Île-Perrot, free on Monday and Tuesday.

As always, the flowers from the garden await brush, pigment and water.

Love Sanctuaire. Hopefully Pokémon won’t destroy the tranquility seldom found in this world.
Always amazed the number of young families visiting the sanctuaire here. The Child says “he is here” and then the Dad says ” quiet people are praying”.
