I painted the Beaubien Station last year, a bit earlier in the season. Today the trees had no more leaves, and it was close to zero centigrade. Actually I was on my way to the d'Iberville station when I took a wrong turn and got going down Beaubien, then saw the familiar blue metro sign marking the front entrance of the Beaubien station. The sun was low but probably at its peak for the season. I completed almost the entire painting and then overlaid the prominent tree, which had been the main inspiration for choosing this angle. A lot of people were walking by since the bus stop was just behind me. This painting took a long time, but I am glad I did it. As usual, I spent a lot of the time painting the garbage can. But it was the people really, they at a good 30% to the paint time.
