The Autumn Walk to Class


"The Autumn Walk to Class"
6" 5/8 x 5" .. watercolor on 300 GSM cold-pressed .. March 6th 2011

This watercolor was painted from a photograph of a courtyard I walk through nearly everyday on my way to class at MIT. Even though I was probably running late, I'm glad that I stopped to take a photograph of the beautiful autumn leaves so I could paint them later.
