  This is a subject that many of you will recognize as I go back to it trying different color, trying a different feel.  Needless to say, I like it!  The setting is the Memorial Union Building at Oregon State University.  It brings back so many memories--falling back into the worn, soft cushions of the many chairs and sofas in the huge room with wonderful light--trying to study and stay awake there at the same time wasn't easy!

Oil on Board

This painting was inspired by a small one I posted not too long ago. I loved the colors in it. I have painted this subject a few times before in reds--which is what the scene is actually like--but was never happy with my large version of it, so decided to try this. I had a hard time getting the colors to be true to the painting in the photo, but they are much more pleasing to me than the red tones. I'm not sure if this is finished--I'm going to set it up and just look at it for the next couple of weeks before I frame it!
