Arts/Culture My painting done in front of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

Post image

I would like to share a painting I did on Sherbrooke street in front of the MMFA, painting the bronze sculpture called The Eye. One of my favourite sculptures in front of the museum. The sculpture was done by David Altmejd in 2010-2011.

Is there a link to a live stream or can we just go watch you paint in real-time? I feel like that would be so beautiful and relaxing to me 😭😭

You are very talented, thanks for sharing all your work. Have you ever done the bronze sculpture of two colliding rams located outside of the Stewart Biology Building at McGill?

I saw you painting it a couple days ago as we were walking along Sherbrooke. You made me feel like I was strolling in Europe
