Day and Night

There's this one really great view of Grand Central with the Chrysler building behind it that just speaks to me. A few months back I came across it at night, with a spotlight on Grand Central and the Chrysler building all lit up and it was gorgeous! A while back on another sketch trip, I caught the same view in the bright sunlight, catching shadows from neighboring buildings. I was inspired not only by the spectacular lighting in both cases, but also the fantastic reflection off the building behind Grand Central. I took photos both times, and decided to do two side-by-side paintings of the two views. I'm really pleased with these, I hope you enjoy them too!
