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.
