Reeling off another set of paintings at Metro Papineau, I made the most of realtively mild summer weather. Later this week its gonna be a schorcher! This one shows a nice flower bed behind a bench, and part of the metro and adjacent outdoor flower store in the background.

Another scene of the flower shop, with the city and a round-glass bulb lamp in the background. I liked the composition, where solid heavy buildings seem to be floating on delicate flowers.

You don't see these very often anymore, a public telephone. Nobody was using it incidentally. I painted it to look like a robot, maybe its a Dr. Who character invading an alternative reality Earth? Metro grocery store in the background has a P instead of an M.

Finally, a scene of the Cartier bridge soaring over a big condo building. You can see bikes and cars going past on the bridge which is neat. I sometime ride up there and make paintings, will do later int he summer if I get the chance. I did a lot of paintings today, 14 I think, which was neat. Lately I was listening to the late American punk band called the Ramones. Their songs were like 2 minutes long and very simple. Kind of like my location art, maybe I can call these punk paintings?
