Due to the high winds I was without power from 9:30a.m., when we returned from going out to have supper in Peterborough the power had been restored.
It didn't hurt that on the way home we purchased a new generator to replace the old one which had finally decided to give up the ghost.

Using new gamboge and Antwerp blue I filled in the rest of the grass area and added a little French ultramarine blue for the darker grasses in the foreground.
I set the painting aside thinking it was complete.

Then I added a shadow down the side of the birch trees with French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna.
Adding new gamboge and Antwerp blue to the shadow colour I added leaves on the birch trees using a sponge.

Next I completed the old, dead tree and added the markings on the birch.
I painted in the background grass and trees using the same colours as in the previous painting.
Lastly I ran a pale wash of burnt sienna down the trunk on the birch.
