"Homeward Bound"

6 x 6"

Nearing the end of our first full day in Manhattan, we explored Grand Central Terminal for a while - I stood at this high spot for a good, long time squinting at the steady stream of people pouring in - thinking of how I could paint this scene. Lots of movement, ambiance - I really love the way this turned out and I'm adding it to my series ATL to NYC & Back. Gives me courage to tackle a larger version, from the center floor in the station.
