Maybe I should call this the lunch break series? They are quick paintings done around lunch hour in the quad, that is, a central area of Loyola Campus where people hang out. Cilei's favorite one was the indigenous statue, which we have hanging up now. After painting some dark backlit scenes up in Laval, I made some adjustments here to keep the scene fresh. Mainly, I tried to simplify the shadow mixtures and get them done with one layer. It worked out pretty good, you get a sense of a breezy cool fall day on campus. Even though it is probably almost winter the grass was still greenish. I couldn't resist putting in the pylon of course.
