Located in Park Maisonneuve, this little grove of trees seems to be slated for cutting based on the abundance of orange dots spray painted on their trunks by city officials. This means the tree has parasites in them and must be destroyed to prevent further spread. The larger tree just behind it did not have any dots so hopefully it was healthier, but there were dozens of the other species with the orange dots all around me. I mixed a little dirt and pine needles into my water just to give this paintings a bit of grit. It was nice to cool off in the shade among the trees after having spent most of the day at the metro stations making paintings. The open space in the middle ground is a large field, the park is filled with them and my ultimate frisbee team used to play games here all the time. 6 x 7.5" cold press, watercolour, July 2020
