Here is a quick after work painting made just before the sun went down. Trenholme park is full of very large trees, and in the middle they have a games area with a croquet pitch and several shuffleboard areas. You can see the end of one in the bottom center, with triangles and numbers painted onto a slab of concrete. When the sun is low, shadows get long, and the light/shadow boundaries appear to have more contrast. The grass is still dark yellow and olive green since it has not had the chance to grow much. On my palette, the green paint usually lasts all winter and then some, but during spring and summer I will refill the green paint several times.
