The campus has a large land moat, perhaps better called a ditch, which seems to provide sunlight to the lower floor of the building. I sat on the retainer wall looking down the ditch and painted the complex scene which included bright yellow flowers, a tree, and grass growing here and there. Knowing more about yellow after painting in Brazil helped me negotiate the tricky variations in this scene. A shadow was fast approaching so I had to get the scene done while the sun was still beaming down. At least if campus is attacked by zombies we have a handy moat to help fend them off!
