I went to Pratt to paint the library, and to say hi to Jason.
It was really warm today and our fall foliage looks good.
Also, it has been 4 years since I painted the library and I wanted to compare.
(I can't believe it has been 4 years)
8x10 oil, 2 hours 40 mins or thereabouts
I think I have improved a lot.
(It was COLD and after fall foliage)
******************
There is a lot of construction on campus.
There is an ugly chain link fence around the fountain in the courtyard.
It feels really different, kind of weird to be honest.
There are swipey things on the doors, which is kind of dumb because you can still just walk in through Willoughby and all the buildings are connected.
Jason is still working at the Pratt Library.
He worked there when I worked there, last century.
It was so nice to see him today.
It was so nice to see him today.
He looks great.
He says I look great but I think he looks better.
The library has changed a lot.
There are doors where there were never doors and also swipey turnstiles so alumni like me can't just walk in anymore.
There are doors where there were never doors and also swipey turnstiles so alumni like me can't just walk in anymore.
And I definitely can't go in through the window anymore like I used to.
That kind of sucks.
They finally got rid of the dreadful ugly painting monstrosity that was hanging on the wall right when you walk in.
They got more serious about keeping people off the roof of the main building.
You can't go into the sub-basement of the Engineering building without getting caught by sensors.
Jason says the tunnels under the library are also closed.
(I don't think I was ever in those tunnels but now I want to go.)
Life is no fun anymore for anyone.
