Looking Up At L3, Christ’s College

And finally today, we’re back home in Christ’s College.  This was the first to be drawn on Sunday and the last to be painted today.  It’s a view from First Court of the main gate leading out of the college.  But, more importantly, the window at the top of the gate is the bay window in L3, my second year room.  As well as that bay window with its amazing view over First Court, the room boasted access to the roof, with even more amazing views of both e college and the street outside.  Having to not put the door on the latch the night before royal birthdays so that the porters could put the flag up was a small price to pay. I should add that there was a separate bedroom within the room that the porters didn’t need to enter, so it’s not as bad as it sounds.

I have to say that’s a pretty good set of colours.  A red, a blue and a sunny looking orange, making up a purple warm key.  Here’s what the swatches looked like:

It looks like what I’d expect from a purple warm key, bright colours with the exception of the dull looking green.  I was optimistic.
