I bought a cheap DVD player to take advantage of the DVD collection they have at the local Cultural Center and Library. Lots of Zombies so far! Today I was feeling a little under the weather on the tail end of a cold, but got out there, and also made a few paintings while it snowed. I found a sheltered spot to stand across the street under the front overhang of the Sports Complex. With snow overhead you could say I was under the weather. Get it? I was sick, and standing under the snow, under the weather times two. To make this painting, I had to paint around all the snow highlights. It was tricky brushwork but at least I can wear my wool mitts instead of deerskin gauntlets which offered a bit more dexterity.

You also get a sense of the incredible facilities we are lucky to have on this former location which was Benny Farm. This scene shows a medical center, they call them CLSC, with snow-covered pine trees in the foreground. Up in the background are the two massive apartment buildings on Sherbrooke, quite a few of my graduate students have rented apartments there as they live in Montreal. Unfortunately it will be difficult to bring in more international graduate students this year, although a Canadian graduate student applied and might get an admission offer soon. In other news, I am close to making a website for my immunology research laboratory, but no promises on when it will happen!
