Here is a painting of our forward-thinking, teach for tomorrow, green campus. Virtually all the lights were on because everyone works so hard. Apparently there is technology that will automatically turn lights off when not needed, but maybe that is just a little too futuristic for us. There is also technology that allows people with wheel chairs to get around inside of buildings, but ramp technology has also eluded us at Loyola campus, with all the complicated angles and such. Side note, they are spending millions to renovate the old stone work on the administration building, so I guess stone age technology is about right. Sarcasm aside, I caught this view of the crescent moon above the science pavilion, with the big tree in front, no leaves. With all the lights on, it made for some interesting patterns and effects. The painting took longer than I thought with all the details and layering. Amazingly, I could do this painting with no gloves on, and its November 7th. In the old days it would have already been sub-zero Celsius by now, perhaps even snowing.
