Ohh Sara this is really lovely, I bet the scan doesn't do it justice and even here it looks awesome.

You are a wonderful artist.

That building should be accessible; my brother was a paraplegic I know how frustrating it is for people in chairs. Here in Canada you can contact the Paraplegic Association and inform them of the building and then they will work to get it fixed, even with some government grants. I think its law that public buildings be accessible.

Sorry to go on …

I think it should be the law here, as well. Because it isn't, or at least doesn't seem to be, able-bodiedness is kind of a requirement to go to Grinnell. (Or people are so frustrated that they just don't apply or decide to attend.) Most of our buildings were built a long time ago, but the Forum is one example of a building built in the 20th Century that, although it has ramps, it just...doesn't have enough to get arround the building, which has stairs between every single room (the multi-level effect). There are even stairs in the bathrooms.

On a lighter note, Gary Cooper rode a horse up to the third floor of an elevator-free building at Grinnell when he was a student! What a weirdo!

Yay!!!! This is my favorite painting that I have seen from you (and thus a favorite for me here on DA). I love your style of painting. Even though you say that it is natural for you and the only way that you like to paint I know lots of people who have struggled for a long time to develop just such a style. The interplay of light and dark strokes is delightful to the eyes and the building is instantly recognizable for me. I know that the forum grill is not handicap accesible, but are other parts of it? The nort and south lounges have ramps going up to them, but then again I am not sure if they are built to be wide enough for a wheelchair to fit through... They seem like they may be a bit too narrow, which is really weird if they are. I mean why put in ramps if they don't allow people with disabilities access?

Yeah, so anyway, I love this painting... and I love ties (I wore one out last night for coffee)... and i love you most of all!!!

Thank you! I know you love this painting, and I know you love ties! And that's why I'm giving you a tie for your birthday! I love you!

this is very beautiful indeed, this style works well for you
nicely done

Do you work wet on wet? What colors do you favor? Like which primary ones? I can perceive a little bit of thalo blue on those greens but I'm not entirely sure.

Yay!! I own this painting now! You are the best Sarah and oh, so talented!

I think this painting is very beautiful, very expressive and colourful.

This one's kind of lazy--it's acryllic on masonite. Masonite is so easy. Also, impressionism is good for lazy people!
