A Few More Shadows

Awhile back I did a painting at Trenholme park called a few less shadows, which showed a large tree stump where there used to be a grand old tree. Today, I  noticed that the city had planted a bunch of new trees including this one, which is situated where the old tree was cut down. In the background you can see some branches on the ground where the trees were damaged from the recent ice storm. The squirrels didn't seem to mind, although they seemed to be a little disappointment that I had no peanuts for them! To paint the grass I used a mix of indo yellow (PY110), phthalo green (PG36) and a touch of burnt sienna (PBr7/PR101). For accents I dabbed in some oranges and dark greens for shadows. It turned out to be a very detailed painting, I was just enjoying the moment of breathing some fresh air and sitting under a blue sky.
