This was early afternoon of the second day of the Paint the Town Kingston in association with the International Plein Air Painters World Wide Paint Out. After completing #2018 "Historic Woolen Mill" I returned to the shade of a tree overlooking the large buildings of the Kingston Marina. The title of this painting is the street address for the Kingston Marina. A flock of sea gulls virtually lived on the roof of the large building. The gulls were there on the roof at dawn and still in place at the end of the day. They never seemed to move although they must have flown off to feed. I was able to get this westward looking view painted before the sun got too low in the afternoon sky which would have made if challenging to see. The stern of the sail boat "God Speed" also made it into this painting.
The building was in pretty rough shaped. I can imagine the large crane and moving trucks banging into the metal walls from time to time.
Barry the kayak-er camped overnight at the boat ramp. We carried on an ongoing conversation as I painted. He had paddled down the Trent Waterway to Trenton and after paddling eastward along the Lake Ontario shore, he was headed up the Rideau to Ottawa. He was only headed as far as Kingston Mills to spend the night. After he bought new shoes, I helped him launch his kayak. We both stayed dry during the process.
