Built in 1930, Lowell house is one of the undergraduate houses at Harvard, and located near my previous apartment. The Lowell house tower was originally designed as a clock tower, but after the house received a gift of authentic pre-revolutionary Russian bells, its design was converted to a belltower. The original bells have since been removed, and now the tower houses replica bells. The bells are rung on weekends, New Year's eves, Commencements and after we win football games.
This is my first non-absract oil painting. It took me 4-5 hours to paint this, two round brushes, and for the first time, more than three oil colors in a single painting! I also learned a lot about painting architecture with this one.
