Its been a few days that I made a painting outside. Part of me was holding out for Spring-time weather, I do enjoy painting the cranberry trees when they flower, and the yellow dandelions. Instead we got hit with snow and and a steady drizzle of rain that continued on until today. In Coffee park I found a leaning tree to stand under which offered some protection, and made the only painting I could of the scene immediately in front of me. The tree leaf buds were all knocked off and strewn across the ground, they were mixed up with the puddles, snow piles, and muddy grass. The foreground was a complex mix of slush, water and snow. To paint the tree colour, a mix of yellow ochre (PY43) and carbon black (PBk6) was used, along with a few streaks of green (PG36) and orange (PO62).
