Description
I'm always in search of that perfect street, the secret garden where the sun shines through dappled shadows, formed by swaying tree branches, overhanging dormer windows atop colorful pastel-colored houses. One such street actually exists in the heart of Mile End and the Plateau Mont Royal.
The park is known as St. Louis Square, a gorgeous little green space along avenue Laval, framing several picture-perfect row houses and duplexes. If you are lucky you might find a free bench so grab it and plunk yourself down. I did precisely that. Luckily I have brought along my sketch pad, colored pencils, water, a sandwich and I enjoyed a superb afternoon becoming thoroughly acquainted with the windows, the doors, balconies, flower boxes, staircases,brick and stone foundation and cute little wrought iron fences where lilies bloom.
Every now and then a neighbor pops out, a car slowly drives by but for the most part, the only sounds I heard were birds chirping, the occasional squirrel eyeing my sandwich as I happily created several drawings, made a multitude of thumbnails and took many notes.
This is one of the paintings I created back in my studio from all the reference material I gathered that lovely springtime afternoon in the park on Laval street, along St. Louis Square.
