Today the wind settled down and it was warmer than yesterday so I made it out to survey the damage after the ice storm and make a few paintings. This tree lost a huge branch but otherwise didn't look any worse for wear. In the background you see the sports dome and Perform Centre on campus.

Not far, I found another big broken branch on one of the trees in Coffee Park. The splintered portion had a pale ochre colour. For the tree I mostly used umber (PBr7) with some mixed purple for shadows (PB15 + PV19). The grass is still a flat olive green but signs of green grass are starting to show.
