Sunset and pylon puddle

Over at Benny park near the sports complex there is a small forest of pine trees that catch the sunset. The well-trodden snowy hill in the foreground was reflecting a variety of pastel colours from the sky. I got the whole painting done on location including the tree details.

Walking past this puddle reflecting a pylon (and another construction sign off to the right), I thought, when will I get the chance to paint this again? Lucky me, right place right time! It was a real challenger to get all the blue, brown, grey and orange working together with dirty melting snow. Looks like it will stay hovering around zero for a while yet.
