Down by the train tracks where Courcelle street crosses, there is a park and a commuter station, its a location I have painted many times due to its proximity to campus. Today I composed my favorite motif, the garabage can, with the train tracks and a yellow crossing sign. The crossing sign was embellished to make it look like the person crossing was in danger of being hit by the train. The composition uses a series of triangles to make an energetic zig-zag pattern. For the yellow sign, it was a mix of yellow ochre (PY43) and benzi yellow (PY154).

Looking east along the train tracks, and there was some graffiti by SODAX and PJD25 on a rail-side structure. SODAX was talking about changing her tag name... so we will see if it changes up in the future. PJD25 is kind of boring, although he sometimes writes FARTY.

This condo on the corner of Courcelle and Harley street has been boarded up for years, and today I saw them finally tearing it down. Hopefully they can replace it with some new affordable housing stock, or maybe a small park which is needed in the neighborhood. Or, they should build one of those artificial skydiving centers where they have a jet stream blowing upwards in a tube and you can levitate for awhile. But I'm guessing its going to be condos,
