Confederation park is just down the street on Somerled avenue, I took a long detour while riding home to find something to paint before the sun started to go down. There is a group of pine trees around the running track that were casting interesting shadows on the olive green and brown grass. I painted the entire background first, then painted the trees over top once the background was mostly dry. In real life the pine trees are more of a blue-pine colour, which is pretty hard to achieve so I went for a more traditional green just to make sure the painting worked out. Next time I see a blue pine tree I will give it a proper go.
