At the nearby Loyola Park there is a walking path lined with various types of trees. Continuing my Spring theme of painting colourful trees and shrubs, here is an interesting dark red (maroon) tree sitting in a sea of green. In the foreground where the path splits is one of my signature garbage cans! To paint this scene, I applied the green grass and blue sky, then over-painted the shrub and background elements.

A steep embankment leads down to Cavendish underpass going to Cote des Neige neighborhood. The area around the underpass has good sight lines, shady trees and interesting landscaping which is why I have returned there many times after discovering the location during the pandemic. The violet shrub/tree was not a lilac, the flowers were much more delicate than I captured in the painting. Of course there were pylons of in the distance, they are another sign of Spring in Montreal.
