The final exam was on the downtown campus today at the Hall building, shown in the background of the painting. I showed up a bit early to find where all the rooms were, that can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour its so confusing but I managed to locate them all in short order across two different buildings. At any rate, there was a few minutes to make a quick painting standing on one corner looking across at the Hall building which has not changed much on the outside since its creation. Inside there is a hodgepodge of renovations done over the decades. Most recently they have been going floor by floor redoing the surfaces, plumbing, bathrooms, floors, and classrooms. Quite a few people were out and about, a few stressed out students no doubt. The painting composition makes use of a strong 2 point perspective, the sides of the square building receding off into the distance. They have an interesting metal sculpture too, it rotates inwards with the wind. Tomorrow I pick up the exams downtown and weather permitting I can squeeze in another painting.
