On the way to pick up the Lufa Farms groceries I made a quick painting at Trenholme park. The squirrels would not sit still for a second so it was a challenge to get them right in the painting. In the background at the left you see the back side of the Lufa Farms delivery truck. You just pick up your 'basket' which is a grey plastic box with folding lid, and then transfer your stuff into a bag to bring home. The painting doesn't have too much colour in it because of the weather conditions, and because I am using up the last of the paint on my winter palette so that I can give it a good cleaning. The plastic palette gets stained with the pigments especially the phthalo blue and quinacridone magenta, which can be removed by scrubbing with a scouring powder like Vim.
Squirrels and Trees, Trenholme Park, watercolour 6 x 8" cold press, April 2022 (No. 2998a)
