Canadian Centre for Architecture

 

No signs here, the building on the left is the end of a very long and serious looking building called the Canadian Centre for Architecture. Ironically, you have these kind of pre-fab looking condos surrounding it from different eras. The black and white ones are brand new, the brick one is probably 1990's era, and the tile and balcony job on the edge is likely 1960's. Hopefully I did the CCA building some justice here.

This was part of the fancy facade on the other side of the CCA building, it looks like a refurbished old stately manor, or perhaps some expensive government building from yesteryear. It was too challenging and architecture is not my favorite thing to paint but every now and then I will give it a go. This one would require a big piece of paper but I was only carrying 5 x7" today on my bike.

Its hard to capture the whole building, this segment would be about one third of it. I put my initials on one of the big wall posters... so now they are having a showing of my artwork.
