We have been walking a lot up at the college. The grounds are open but, with the quarantine, next to nobody is there, an unusual occurrence at a university of 35,000 students. Our skies have been cloudy and windy with our California March rainstorms. I tried to get the feeling of an empty and chilly university in this sketch.
This is an acrylic sketch on a white surface.
You caught the windy turbulence in sky, AND greenery from rain, along with haunting emptiness Sarah.
This would make for a great CoVid SERIES: . A great time for expressive art!!

The clouds are tremendous! You really caught the movement.This is a really great painting. Everything about it! Even the buildings and trees seem synchronised with the movement of the clouds.

Thank you Alana, it was fun to do, especially with such a dramatic sky.

Your painting has a wonderful sensitivity – indicated so ably through a variety of textures, shapes and muted colors.

Thank you Terry, now I am wondering about enlarging and moving the dark tree in that is in the foreground to the left side.

I like it how it is, but if you’re playing with alternate versions, try enhancing the texture of the grass between the tree shapes on the left hand side.
