Waiting for the text from LUFA farms, the grocery delivery company, I made my way down to Harley street and made some paintings on the corner of Elmhurst looking east. This is one of dépanneur Harley with the mail box out front covered in snow. The sky continued to have the purple and orange hues easily recreated with indo blue (PB60) and pyrol orange (PO73) also known as Winsor red-orange. The rest of the painting was tough, with so much salt in the water it was moist and the colours looked faded upon drying. I applied a lot of digital contrast in the image above.

Here is the first one, too bad the washes all faded and the contrast was lost despite using some digital adjustments. The other day there was not enough salt and it turned to slush, this time it was perfectly liquid but dried too slow. Next time, I will dilute the salt water slightly. At least my clothing was good, I even felt warm despite the 20 below temperature.
