The Benny cultural center is a colourful building that houses a theater, books, videos, and a lot more. You can see it in the background of this painting, like a pile of lego blocks. In the foreground you see the pale yellowish grass emerging from the thawing snow, with long blue shadows cast from the trees. As I painted, I noticed that small dark red leaf buds were starting to appear which seemed early. Funny enough, just this morning I did the Madagascar painting and did an effect like this for the Balboa trees, so I knew the technique. Dab once for small dots, dab several times on the same spot for larger dots. From the looks of it, we are well into spring, but there is apparently still a little cold weather in store.
