The rain subsided this morning and I could get out for a walk down Walkley street where it meets Sherbrooke, and then over to Montclair street which was good views of the downtown. I was looking for a scene that would not possible when the leaves come out, for example, here the distant city view will be obscured by the trees in the middle-ground come spring and summer. There are a few more scenes like this I may try to capture before the leaves arrive, which will be a month or so from now. Monclair slopes down steeply here, creating a staircase-like shape of the houses. The houses are mostly duplex and triplex and have that boxy look with deep orange bricks. The white tarpaulin behind the car is one of those snow-garages. The black pickup truck just in front of the sedan actually drove off, the owner and his kids took a look at the painting and seemed to enjoy it. It happens from time to time that people will talk to me, perhaps with the pandemic abating things are getting back to normal a little more.
