I call this painting "Heathrow" after spending hours at the international terminal last week. The variety of people you see at that airport astounds me - every culture, every color, masses and masses of people. I simply HAD to paint them.
This painting started out to be a representation of immigrants, refugees...but it took a turn towards the industrial. Hence the "Heathrow" title.
I may change the background horizon but will try it in photoshop first, so as not to be surprised.
Let me know what you think - and I'm glad it's off my chest now!!!

And you lacked confidence in achieving perspective?!
I adore this Mim, every person, every shadow, every capture of a loooong line. Gosh you are good.
Do you know you inspire me?

well...KJ - that's good to know, I love inspiring and being inspired! glad you like it...this is the first time that I HAD to paint what I was feeling.
You succeeded! It is *Heathrow* - people-wise....it reminds me (a bit) of the one painting you did a while back with all of the different people...
Love,

I look at this again and think it could be refugees in search of a safe land....

Travel always gives us lots to think about. I like this drawing. It can mean so many things.
Wonderful, you just need to multiply it by about 10 to really see the crowds at heathrow. I see some Stephanie Ho peeping through this work.Love it.
i really get the feeling of the lines of people and the various cultures from your drawing. you have so many adventures . are you home now?
Oh Mim, I love everything about this! The perspective is awesome, the graduated sizes. The shadows, etc etc etc, fabulous.
Thanks so much for your kind words for me today too...ever so comforting. .
SB you are right, loved her shadows and was inspired by them. Always so much fun to look at new artists and get new ideas
this is fabulous mim.......really. as i scrolled down and had a first glimpse i honestly thought it was a photo of a line at heathrow. by the way, inspired title. i believe heathrow is the world's busiest airport (or right up there with atlanta's hartsfield) but there is a feeling of humanity, diversity, movement and hope that springs forth from this piece.
