The Baroness' Fountain

This was a creative art test I made along with a job application for a mobile game. The assignment was to pick one out of three suggested real life locations, paint it in a specific genre and come up with an idea for a puzzle at that location. This is based on the Baroness Burdett Coutts drinking fountain in London and I came up with the little ghost story and puzzle idea after reading about how the Baroness donated a lot of money to have the poorest children in London attend "ragged schools" to get them out of prisons and the streets.

Art test completed with about 10 hours of work.

These are the original colours that I painted the piece in but I tinted the whole scene more towards blue than green in the end to fit the mood I was going for. I still like the original a lot though.
