At lunch hour I sat in some shade and made a painting of the facade of the Science Pavilion in relative peace. Until a student orientation tour group showed up and sat all around me and ate a pizza lunch, they talked a lot but it didn't bother me much. I've looked at this scene many times and never saw a way to paint it, until today when I thought, just paint it ugly. The complicated mishmash of grey metal, black cladding, yellow-orange brick and green tinted glass makes for a chaotic painting. But in the end it came together into a decent painting.
Campus complicated, watercolour 5 x 7" cold press, August 2024 (No. 3998b)
