The bike path was slushy but ride-able today, although I was the only one out there. This train bridge has been the subject matter for many paintings, in this one I depicted the slushy bike path and the snow covered canal. The bridge has iron oxide paint (PR101), yellow ochre (PY43) and some orange (PO62) to punch up the hue. Luckily the canal dried fast enough to allow for the black fence to be painted over and I could finish the whole painting on location.

The willow trees that line the boat harbour take on a yellowish cast in the winter. I offset the yellow with a pastel sky and greenish water that was mostly frozen. The trees in the distance were done with perylene green (PBk31) and blue (PB60), but it dried a little darker than I thought it would.
