Night Lights on Campus

It was barely 5PM and the sun was down. On the way home I stopped to make a quick painting of the field beside Hingston hall on campus. Recently the snow melted a lot, leaving patches of grass showing through. To paint the sky I applied the blue washes first, then added the peachy clouds. As it dried I added the darker shadows on the clouds. The snow was a dark blue, people had rolled snowballs and made a snowman in the field. In the foreground there was a sidewalk-lamp about waist height, which is part of the sidewalk surrounding the new life science building. I haven't painted the life science building because when they built it they had to destroy half of this enormous field. So I would rather paint what is left of the field.
