A long overdue update

Painted this a few months back in winter and never got to post it. It was such a cold and wet day, I was glad to have found a spot to park my car off the road and painted it from the comfort of dry and warmth.
The area near Pitt Polder conservation area is full of these blueberry farm. During the cold months the leaves turn bright red and are quite striking.

I painted this piece last weekend at the Opus Outdoor Painting Challenge in North Vancouver. I made sure I got there early to scout the location, and spend the good 4 hours on painting instead of running around. The sun was playing peekaboo and I stuck to the initial lighting that attracted me which was overcast.

It was an easier walk to be on the other side of the creek so that's where most of the participants were.
