Here are a couple of scenes I painted this week during breaks from the laboratory, the first one was done near PERFORM Centre, the sports dome is in the background behind the fence and flowers. Normally I would edit out the fences, but in this case the fence became part of the concept and the composition. The wild flowers, some kind of clematis relative perhaps, were working hard to make the neighborhood look a little brighter.

This is vacant lot near the local epicerie, I believe that it belongs to STm Montreal because there is a bus terminal right beside it. Hopefully they keep the spot like this, there is very little green space in town. It is actually surrounded by a sturdy fence but I edited that out, to give a better view of the flowers growing in a vacant lot. There were lots of white flowers and yellow flowers, with some small purple ones. Even the concrete blocks looked to be floating on a cloud of petals. Of course I got some of the traffic in the background with a city bus zooming by.
