Description
If I were given a second choice to hang something of mine in a museum, this would be the one. A girl can dream!
I love to bench watch! So many interesting faces waiting to be captured, but I have to try to be obsequious when snapping the camera. I usually have my husband sit down amongst the people. Sometimes he even makes it into the scene. Bin this shot, he didn't.

LOL....this is such a fantastic image, Madeline!!! It looks like you got these people to pose for you just so....though I know that this is a real scene! So wonderfully composed, and the textures are beautiful...as is the glow of that wall behind them!!! Love it!! :)))fv
Madeline Ellis replied:
Every place I visit, I look for people on benches who are just sitting, resting and or waiting. Sometimes I have my husband sit amongst them so they just think I'm taking a picture of him and don't focus on me. He is not in this one. Thanks so much for your wonderful comment Laurie. It is hanging in my entryway. FAA does a beautiful job of printing. I did this in acrylic. I love the clean look of it, and no frame to damage. Delighted you made this one of your favorites.
