As I continue the catalogue update, a few paintings were lost and found. Sometimes they get left out of a blog, or maybe I was not thrilled about the painting at the time. This one shows a pale yellow shack, or shanty, near the beach in North Rustico PEI... you can tell from the red sand!

Back to NDG, here is the Reno Depot parking lot south of the train tracks. I paint here from time to time, the sight lines are good although the scenery is a little dull. Painting parking lots is especially difficult, the cars have odd shapes and the perspective is very deep.

Another painting of Snowdon Bakery on Harley street, looking back towards Elerdale. It seems that I had trouble with the roof line of the building and perspective on the sidewalk. The shadows really glow, I can tell this was done in the summer.

An enormous condo building is going up along st Jacques street in a noisy and generally unpleasant location. At least it will make for some good housing for people. I depicted some of the construction elements with heaps of gravel. Earlier in the year I did a neat painting of a
person welding in this site.
