Yellow Flowers on Hill

 

Not far from campus, there is a thrift store that accepts donations like old textbooks for example. At least that is what I dropped off today on lunch hour. Finding some shade, this scene was looking across the parking lot towards the Renaissance thrift store with a summery hillside covered in yellow flowers. Some rare green space, it made for an interesting contrast with the parking lot and brick-red roof of the store. I painted a similar scene during the pandemic summer of 2020, you can see the big differences between the two paintings. In the 2020 painting it was deserted, and my palette was less colourful than today's painting.
