Riding down Maisonneuve bike path, I stopped at the Girouard overpass and painted a scene of this broken down Ferrari at an auto shop. Its front wheel was bent inwards with extensive body damage, looks like somebody lost control. To buy a Ferrari you need lots of money, like 'Ferrari money', that is a huge salary. Although, maybe you can get this one on discount.

The old bike path loops around, it used to just end here. Now its a tiny triangle-shaped park with grass and trees in the midst of dense urban Montreal. I removed invasive vines, and put fertilizer spikes on the pine trees over the past few years, and it all looks great now.

The city installed water stations at various points long bike paths. On the right you see traffic along Maisonneuve heading west, and in the background is the Veterans building. It is a good place to stand and paint, there in the triangle park, I have done quite a few from that location. I'll go there when I am tired after work but still feel like painting.
