Cutting through campus there is a narrow road that leads to Terrebonne avenue. Along the way there is a large gardening area for growing vegetables, which is just seen to the middle left of the painting. On the right are large piles of the remaining snow, encrusted with salt sand and soot. In fact the snow piles were even darker than they appear in the painting, more like charcoal. Mostly I just wanted to do a painting on the way home, as usual, I had my portable paint kit with me that I can use standing up. It's been fun painting grey, green, brown and blue, however, I am looking forward to a little more colour to appear in the local landscape soon.
