summer campus

I lived close to Queens university when I was a student at St. Lawrence college back in the 70's.  The architecture of many of the older buildings is lovely...not so much the new buildings which are mostly steel and glass. Grant hall is an older building...it has an Italian influence going on.
I enjoy design...it's my most fun part of a painting...lots of liberties with this one... but i rather like the vortex sensation.  Dorothy, are we still in Kansas?  It definately has movement...

  2. Beautiful Sally,

    Although I didn't go to Queen's most of my family did, and the city and the campus are romantic to me for that reason. I feel like I grew up there.

    XOXO Barbara

  4. yes Barbara, i feel the campus has a romance to it as well...i think it's because i didn't study there...but some of the old buildings are so gothic and wonderful.
