Pastel colours, Spring rain ending soon?

Thinking it might rain, and it was drizzling a bit, I made a few quick paintings around back of the Benny cultural center after borrowing a few movies. The structure has periwinkle-blue and maroon cladding with pops of pink and yellow. Pale green, cream white, and pink-orange trees were starting to put out flowers and leaf buds. A few dandelions were already up.

Looking to the community garden and condos, here is a scene framed by a turbulent cloudy sky. The rain held off for the most part and forecast calls for sunny days ahead. With a long weekend I should be able to get out and paint a few around Montreal, before heading to Bolton for a visit soon.
