Ingrid Albrecht - Metro Dawn
Watercolor painting by Ingrid Albrecht
Artist Statement: Exploring a big city very early in the morning can be magical. People are beginning to stir and the sun is reflecting off the buildings, creating a gleaming light that masks the normal grit of the city and elevates it to a magical status. This was my inspiration for this painting.
