The view of this little "urban sanctuary"is situated at the midpoint on my jogging road which follows the Lachine channel, the waterfalls are produced by the opening of a near channel lock.
Water is my element I could say, the sound of rushing water is a pure blessing for one who lives near downtown.

Thanks for your visit!

  1. This is beautiful! I love the rushing water. All of your work is amazing. I also like the paintings of glasses titled "Translucent, transparent" from March.

  6. Hi Todd, thanks for your comment. Yes, a detailed image for that scale, it felt like painting a "miniature".
    Have a great Sunday in New Hampshire! (not so far from Montreal you know)

  7. So beautiful--feels much larger than it's actual size. Virtually all your paintings have that quality.

  8. Thank you Don. I aim to communicate a sense of space & presence with the paintings no matter their size, and wish to add something to their "singular object" physicality.
