Since 'Monet of the parking lot' was not going to be applicable all the time, I thought maybe 'Doctor Dumpster" would be a better nickname. On lunch hour, the weather was fantastic, a hot sunny, blue sky summery day in Montreal after weeks of rain. These bins have been subject matter many times, today I liked the way the black bin was silhouetted against the bright yellow dumpster. The commuter train zoomed by a few times as I painted.

Looking the other way, south down Elmhurst, there was a wooden palette resting against the bear mural and a green bin on the corner. The image of the bear came out well, and there is no doubt that the green bin is the star of the show. I like how the palette pops against the shadowed-side of the city Fruterie store.
