Happy Hour

Technically, this is a restaurant around the corner from Grand Central, but I took so many liberties that it is essentially a new place. I had just finished painting at the station and was walking towards a citibike to ride home when I noticed this busy happy hour spot. I loved the striped umbrellas and how they interacted with the traffic cones. The opportunity for a nice angular shadow is always a draw for me, too. I took a few photos and painted it on a rainy day a couple weeks later. I infused a bit of that wetness here in the foreground.
