Right in the middle of an industrial road that runs along the elevated autoroute is an old residential house that people live in. It was likely an old farmhouse that was there before all the highways and warehouses. One day the whole area will probably be condo developments, so it seemed a good idea to make a painting of the house. I usually stay away from intense architecture, the last effort,
Dépanneur Diamond 10, took 3 visits and five tries to get it right. This painting has it problems, the bottom part slants awkwardly, the details are a bit muddled, and I narrowed the building considerably to fit it on a portrait format. The house probably wont go anywhere soon, and there is a great wide sidewalk to set up on, so perhaps I will give it another try one day.
