On my way back from lunch break I made this painting on Harley street where there are rows of condos, the grocery store called Marché Fruiterie Cité, Snowdown Bakery, a small community center, and the Caribbean dominoes clubhouse. In this scene you can mostly see the congested parked cars and four story condo buildings. The tree in the center had all of its upper branches cut off, but the tree was never replaced. Many trees were cut down in this neighborhood but not replaced which seems at odds with the active tree-replacement campaign up on the other side of the train tracks. I like the way there seems to be a glow coming up from the base of the building, and the tall sweeping tree on the left which helps break the symmetry. The cars are not bad either, I am slowly getting better at depicting the cars.
