Two for the Oculus

The Occulus located in downtown Manhattan is a a very unusual building, unlike the architecture surrounding it. Reminds me of a bird about to take flight. The interior is light filled and is part of the memorial to 9/11. So much of lower Manhattan has been reimagined and rebuilt since the tragic events that took place 19 years ago this coming Friday, hard to believe and still a painful memory.

I saw these two people having a quiet conversation on the outside of the building on a sunny afternoon and thought this might be a good subject for a small painting.

Here is photo of the Occulus looking head on.
