COLD DAY IN PARK



Several years ago I was sketching the trees in the park. It was a cold day. There were still patches of snow on the ground.  I love to ketch the trees when they are bare of their leaves. As you sketch them you can see exactly how they grow. When I was about to leave the park this girl came walking out from among the trees. It was such a mysterious sight and I knew I had to quickly sketch her. She was dressed all in black. Her coat, boots, gloves and beret were black and her hair blond, quite a contrast against the black.She was walking two dogs I painted this scene in oil and I still am not quite satisfied that it is finished.
