There are some pretty old building on Loyola Campus, this one is so old that a tree has been growing on the roof. I've noticed it there for years and wanted to make a painting, finally today I had a spare minute on my way to the office. Parts of the building were recomposed so as to feature the interesting turret structure with the saplings catching some rays. The rest of the painting I did fairly quick and used a simple two layer approach with some detailing. The aluminum chimneys and ducts were reflecting the surrounding colours. Painting all the brown brick and metal reminded me of London Ontario, I will have to scan some more of the oldies and do a blog. When I painted this one I concentrated on the subject matter, which was the plant and the turret, so hopefully it becomes the focal point.
