University of Western Ontario, campus view

An example of an old painting I did back in the day when attending UWO, probably completed in the summer of '96. That sounds like it should be the title of a rock song or something. Anyhow, the painting is rather rough in quality but I like the energy, it really conveys an energetic summer day with hot sun and a blue sky. There is a painting on the back of this one too, a recent doodleism effort, the one that is all in reds with a tree in the front, the name escapes me for now.

There is no signature on this painting which probably means I didn't personally like it or think that it was complete, probably due to the lack of windows on the building. I practiced painting windows that summer just to get better, but did not get back to the painting at hand.
