The weather was quite warm today, just a few degrees below zero and no wind or snow. That is about to change though, they are calling for -25℃ and blowing snow for the next day. This scene is from the park adjacent to the sports complex, it is one of the places I can go to paint in the winter when the going gets tough. I chose this scene knowing that it would be amenable to the conditions. I completed the shadows and snow elements at the bottom, then worked on the snow covered pine trees and benches. Finally, the red brick condos in the background completed the effect. Perylene green (PBk31) really helped, its one of the paints that I wish I could throw back to myself 30 years ago and use to paint pine trees!
