Girouard park is a large multi functional space with a lot of trees and walking paths. It is near the Decarrie, and facing onto Sherbrooke. A monument of sorts adorns a circular walking and sitting area surrounded by a variety of trees. In the foreground, there was a pile of twisted branches piled up from the ice storm. To get the sunny glow of the low sun, I used liberal amounts of yellow ochre (PY43) at tinting strength, with some orange mixed in. The main tree is a neutral yellow orange with purple shadows. To make the shadows I combine indo blue (PB60) with dark magenta (PV19). Today a lot of people were in the park, and there were plenty of squirrels running around. Luckily for them I brought some peanuts.
