Sun After the Snowfall, Yonge Street

24 x 24 oil on board
This has been a difficult painting to work on, so I am going to leave it for a bit before I decide what might need changing/improving.
I don't know what it is about the clarity of the sun after a snowstorm. The air seems clear and the blues in the sky can be stunning. It probably has something to do with the reflections on the white snow. This image is from later in the afternoon as the sun sinks behind buildings in the downtown core of Toronto. Some sunlight makes its way through the buildings to highlight the snow in the foreground.
