This painting is one of those lightning in a bottle paintings, you lay it down with no time to spare and it really captures the energy of the moment. I went to campus early this morning...well its yesterday now that I see the time, and the chemical stores told me to wait 15 minutes for the chemical pickup. Luckily I had my paint set with me, unluckily it started to rain. I knew from experience that light rain can actually produce a special effect of rain on the painting. The blurry background was an accident, I just ran out of time and added the details, which created an almost photographic effect!
Loyola Campus, NDG, Yellow Tree in Rain, 5 x 7" (painting is on half of the sheet, I ran out of cut paper again). watercolour (with added rain), cold press ( I was colder), September (I think), 2020 (not for much longer).
