Original artwork description:

"Golden Hour Conversations" captures a timeless New York City scene: three friends in lively conversation by one of the iconic lion statues near Bryant Park Library. Drawn to this spot by the captivating play of light filtering through autumn leaves, the artist sought to capture the peaceful beauty found in an everyday moment in the heart of NYC. Working en plein air, I used dynamic brushstrokes and a warm palette to recreate the golden light that bathes the scene, contrasting with the cooler shadows in the background. This piece is a celebration of light, community, and the quiet joys that exist within the city's vibrant life. It’s perfect for those who appreciate art that finds beauty in simplicity and connection.
