Winter Drawings on the Université de Montréal Campus

Abstract

These sketches, drawn from my work-place, show the area around the Université de Montréal environmental design faculty in winter. From the windows where I drew them (sheltering from the cold), we see the surrounding landscape, as well as the mountain in the distance, through the leafless trees. These drawings, in black and gold ink and watercolor, evoke, on a small scale, the connections between the city and the landscape of the mountain – Mount Royal, the emblem of Montréal. Like landscape paintings with multiple grounds, they speak of the public space, the winter vegetation with its mesh of branches and the icons of Montréal.
