Our weekly vegetables get delivered by truck to Sherbrooke street right around Trenholme Park where I have made many paintings over the years. Today the sun was just going down and I caught the final rays of light on the recreation building nestled among the trees. The facade of the building has a prominent art deco style sculpture and decorative patterns on the windows. To create the glow of setting sun I used yellow-orange tints at the edges of the trees, the illuminated portion of the grass and structure of the building. For the sky I used a range a of pastel tones such as pale yellow, lilac, and a light turquoise. Of course, the prominent orange components are a fixture of architecture from that era. Every building in Quebec of a certain size must come with an art installation, it is actually in the building code.
