Glass recycling factory

In the south west corner of Point st Charles there is Marguerite Bourgeoys Park, and an adjacent factory that appears to be recycling glass for manufacturing purposes. I saw little bits of broken glass sparkling on the road and though it to be the remains of broken car windows, but in fact there was a large pile of glass behind fencing. Parked on the road were a couple of large taco trucks, not in service though! One of those trees was turning yellow, orange and olive, which added a bit of autumn flavour. These trees are one of the few to change colours, they have pinnate leaves (kind of looks like fern).

In the rear of the factory was a large fenced-in area with mountains of glass. As I painted, the glass kept shifting and sliding down making a clinking and clattering sound. The glass was painted with a pointilism-like technique, and with some dry brush dabbing to get the right textures. My wrist was sore at the end of this one! Tempting me were the floodlight high above the glass pile on the back wall... it suggested that these piles of glass would be illuminated by floodlights at night. The moon would also rise in this direction.
