Here is the end of rue Saint-Zotique, where it meets Parc Avenue. It is the edge of Little Italy neighborhood where there is a bulk food store I go to once a month or so to pick up spices and staple food. They have plenty of safety precautions there which is great. On the way back I made this painting, mostly because of the incredible place to sit. There was a solid pink bench on a quiet alley, part of a food emporium. The sun was at a low angle, warming me up after a cold bike ride. The scene was very urban-industrial, I believe they call that hipster. I may have added a few extra fall-coloured trees here to keep up with the theme. Backlit scenes are always tough, it is important to keep in some contrast elements like the windows that had strong reflections.
