Just a painting I made on campus during lunch break, sitting on the new commemorative bench they installed to remember a professor who passed away a few years ago. The rocks in the foreground are big slab rocks that people can sit on, although it had rained all morning and the surfaces were very wet. The tree was visually sandwiched between two buildings, the old admin building on the left where they have the doctors offices on the bottom floor, and the communication building and book store on the right. I composed the scene so that the two buildings seemed to be compacting the tree, which was just barely holding back the pressure of the structures with its delicate branches.
