Covered with Green

When a tube of paint is nearly finished I usually roll it up and squeeze out as much paint as possible. Even then there is more left in the tube which can be accessed by cutting the tube open. Phthalo green yellow shade (PG36) was a paint that I first tried in 2020, it is a nearly perfect hue of green and has been a part of my palette ever since. As I cut open the small empty tube from 2020 and painted out the remnants I ended up with green on my fingers, hence the name of the painting covered with green. The other reason for the title was a recent development plan that Concordia tabled for the Loyola campus. Essentially they will fill the campus with as many buildings as possible and cover their roofs with grass. In this way it becomes a green project, especially if they use astro-turf.
