This snowy empty lot is on the corner of Ellerdale and Harley down in Westhaven where I go to get lunch sometimes. It used to be a condo building but the city tore it down last year leaving an empty lot. One would image new housing going up here, although I hope it is turned into a park for people to sit... at the end of Harley is the filed where I paint frequently, people set chairs up there and sit because there is no park in this neighborhood. The closest park is Coffee park across the train tracks. The brick colour was raw sienna (PBr7). After trying a whole bunch of yellow ochres and raw siennas, the one by Daniel Smith turned out to be the best for me. Since using it a lot in Brazil, I kept it on my palette and use it all the time now.
