On the way back I took the canal path and saw these white flowers, probably Queen Anne's Lace growing along side of the bike path for about a hundred meters. I stopped and made a painting of the flowers under these trees, with some shipping containers in the background. It was a delicate painting, the flowers had to pop out against a grey-green background, and the trees were casting a web of shadows over the scene. It was very windy today but generally quite a pleasant day to paint. After a tough slog in the winter, it is refreshing to paint in Spring weather.
