Train Station

TRAIN STATION, 12X12

I don’t know what it is, but I’ve always been mesmerized about the in between phases of travel. I love train stations, airports, ferry rides, lounges. When I traveled a lot for work I used to plan purposeful layovers just so I could have downtime to hang out in airports and sketch people and be part of the vibe. I like the light and shadows. I like everyone taken out of their normal worlds and shuffled together into a new deck of humanity who’s all in the same situation, coming and going. I love people watching. It’s amazing how different airports feel on the way to a destination (the buzz of anticipation! the whole trip is ahead of us! we can’t wait to get there!) and on the way home from one (I’m so tired… can’t wait to be home… just want to climb into my own shower, then my own bed…). I love how travel inspires me and also resets me. It makes my whole family appreciate our home and our lives here in ways that are always so good for us. We come back renewed and grateful. And after a little downtime, we’re always excited to plan the next adventure. #snapshotsshow All paintings available through @alpineartframe
