It was late in the afternoon. I headed out behind the barn of Watershed Farm on the 12th Concession of King Township. I wanted to catch the last heavy snowfall before it melted away. I simply stood just a bit to the east of the huge Manitoba maple and painted looking toward the bird bath. The strong shadow of the Manitoba maple shifted like a sundial as I painted. The different shapes and sizes of light between the shadows of the branches reminded me of a puzzle. Thus the title. It was a beautiful afternoon spent outside in nature.
There are countless different shades of white and blue. I used them all in this little painting. I also use the snow as a handy place to store the brushes that I am working with.
