This was really a painting I did for me. One of those 'can I pull this off?' paintings. I loosened up, concentrating on the warm & cool greys and getting the perspective right. The woman is somewhat of a ghostly figure, less defined - half of her dark and half of her lit up from the daylight pouring down the marble stairs. From the center lobby in the Art Institute of Chicago.
