Joe and Ralph's auto mechanic has never been painted so much by an artist! I had less than one hour to jump out of the apartment and do this painting, looking from the vantage point of kitty corner (across the intersection). I liked the contrast of the snow against the overcast sky, the two different greens of the shrubs versus the background pine trees, and the orange pylon of course for which I used my new winsor orange red shade (PO73). I will call that paint 'Montreal Orange' from now on! It was a surprising +2℃ today but the wind was biting. Unfortunately the next week will mostly be in the plus meaning that the snow is going to melt. I guess it's time to paint puddles instead of snow drifts.
