Wanting to avoid a cold night painting, I snuck out of the office after a bunch of meetings and made a quick painting of the dying light in the campus quad area. The aim of the painting was to capture the colours which appeared to be quite intense, the scene was bathed in an amber light of the setting sun. As the under-painting dried very slowly, the tree overlay diffused into the background in places. This painting kind of represents the contrast between work, and my painting hobby. Maybe there will come a time when I can paint full time. Tomorrow is looking promising for a painting trip, sunny although quite cold.
