This was a grey day at The Forks in downtown Winnipeg, on a small spit of land between the Assiniboine and Red Rivers.

The darkness of the trees and greyness of the day have been exaggerated. This was unintentional. It just seemed to happen.

The drawing was done on a dark grey paper. Some, but not all of the darks were drawn first, then the sky and snow, followed by the remaining darks and the foreground grass and weeds. It all went fairly quickly.
