The other day during class break I saw these colourful fall trees outside. Since the class ends late it was dark, so I returned to the spot today a bit earlier from the outside and squeezed in this painting before there was any rain. It started spitting rain a bit but held off mostly. The trees were greenish yellow, yellow-orange, chartreuse with green, and a rusty red in the background. I kept the lawn lighter than it was so that the leaves popped and the trees seemed to have a glow. To the left is the edge of the building and the classroom behind the door, although that door is the emergency exit as far as I can tell. Although, maybe it is a door to the classroom, normally I take the long way from the front and go through the hallways. Like most campuses, its a labyrinthine with little to no signage to help. The weekend calls for more rain but hopefully I can get out for a few paintings.
