Opus Outdoor Painting Challenge 2015

Yesterday I've had a great chance to participate (second year) in Opus Outdoor Painting Challenge 2015 (more about the event http://opusartsupplies.com/opc ). Choosing Downtown location I was hoping for sunny day (it was amazing!) to paint my favorite red sun shades on the Maple Tree Square.
And here is the result of my one hour plein air work...
— at Gastown Vancouver.
