Take three! This is the third time attempting the scene at the Sports Complex. Today was a little below zero and sunny. The paper held the paint but there was some difficulty around the edges and in the area where the tree overlaps the side of the building on the left. The brick colours are about right, the front had that deep red almost violet tint, while the left wall was more orange due to the sunlight. I think this pretty much sums up the scene- the snow was very choppy and full of footprints since many people walk here and kids play. The spot I chose is on a small hill, under some trees, and away from the main places people walk. There is a curfew soon in Montreal and Quebec evenings from 8PM to 5AM, but I wasn't going out or painting in the dark hours anyways and continue to work from home so it shouldn't affect me much.

Here is the same scene in a snowstorm:
Here is the same scene on a very cold day and it looked more like a foggy day:
