Yellow buildings

This is a watercolor of a building on the campus of Amherst College, Amherst, MA....

I embellished the tone a bit...do not know the history, but my wife and I used to walk the campus when we lived there.

  1. When doing an image search for Charles Demuth's paintings, the thumbnail of your painting caught my eye. When I clicked and arrived here, the yellow you used knocked me out. It reminds me of a Van Gogh yellow/orange. Really stunning.

    Upon closer inspection, I recognized the building because I have lived near Amherst, my relatively close neighbor to the south. for 43 years.

    Your embelishment of the color gives it the feel that it is somewhere else, which is kind of fun.

    I enjoyed my visit. Thank you.
