This is similar to Tuesday's painting. It's a scene fairly typical of Winnipeg in the spring.

The painting was done quite simply. After a raw sienna acrylic ground was applied to the paper, the darks were done, including the main branches of the trees. Then the mid-tones, the sky and the weeds, were painted, followed by the lights, the snow. To complete the painting, the final touches, the small branches of the trees and the hydro line, were added.
