Melting snow

I made up for my sick day and did 2 paintings yesterday at Kits Beach. It was still chilly but the sun was very warm. It felt like spring, especially hearing the Black birds squabble in the back the whole afternoon.

I looked for an interesting design instead of a grand view. There are many grad views at Kits Beach and I intend to return to do more, but not yesterday.

The patterns of the light and shadows on the snow, grass and pavement caught my attention.

Another angle from just up the road. Again not a grand view but a simple composition and it makes me feel cheerful.
