Oil painter under the highway, watercolour 6 x 7.5" cold press, October 2024 (No. 4121a)
Montreal has what we call 'concrete artists' they are the construction workers who know how to bend and curve concrete to their will. The old factory warehouse in Mile End, the one with the rusty water tower on top that I have painted many times, has this curving concrete parking lot which looks like you see in the painting when viewed from st Laurent street. Its a challenging scene, done with a brief painted outline, then filled in piece by piece.

Standing under the curving highway, I found this interesting view of the highway overhead, and the warehouse with rusty water tower in the background. Under the highway there is a skateboard park that always has people there hopping over the obstacles. I left the figures out of the scene, although most of them were sitting on the rocks taking a break.
