Today the snow was reduced to interesting blobs and piles by the warm weather. Down at Trenholme Park I found a nice place to sit right in the middle of the field, and did a quick painting of the recreation building and a characteristic tree. I've done quite a few paintings here due its proximity and cool trees. I started the painting with a black outline which dried darker, so the snow blobs look a little weird! Or, I meant the snow blobs have style. As I walked around afterwards, the sun set and half the park took on a warm orange glow- a streak of yellow light cut across the soccer pitch and the tree tops were really glowing against an indigo sky. Unfortunately that lighting condition only lasted about 5 minutes until the sun went down. Next time I will try to be there with 20-30 minutes more to spare.
