Schoolhouse Hotel (3)
Another large piece (27" x 19½") has a painting of Deane & Woodward,
Architects, who designed the original hotel. I deliberately chose a sepia-toned palette
(using gouache and coloured pencils) to suggest an old-world look.
Detail
Each piece in the Schoolhouse Series has a title in uncial calligraphy, written
in terracotta gouache. Decoration was by means of copper foil on each letter, and the
detail, above, shows this effect.
