Cootes Mud


Today I met up with three other Ontario Plein Air Society artists for a "paint out" at the RBG Arboretum near Dundas Ontario.  It was a chilly day with wonderful rolling clouds and I was with good company so it was a good time.

There is an OPAS challenge to do a painting using only two colours so I decided a grey autumn day was the perfect time to attempt it.  This painting was done using only Quinacridone Sienna and French Ultramarine Blue.  We had chickadees landing on us and our easels the whole time that we were painting.  I must remember to carry seed with me

The water levels are so low that Cootes Paradise is a huge mud flat.
