This is an unusual painting, part palette cleanser, part memory, part real life. I was sitting in a plethora of meetings this week which made it difficult to get out and paint at all, but I made a detailed sketch of the scene in one of the board rooms up in the proverbial ivory tower where I was chairing a thesis defense. From memory I recreated the sketch and the scene and filled in some colours. On the left was the drop down screen with Zoom being projected on it, while to the right was a view out the window of campus. The desk in front is a sampling of objects people had in front of them. When you doodle at a meeting like this you have to make it look like you are taking notes. My closest colleagues have figured it out though, one of them even bought some paintings off me few years ago! In the painting I made the zoom screen into an abstract tapestry, and I warped the window frame to give it a trippy vibe.
