Description My mural is finally done.

It was a request, but personally I turned it into my tribute to one of the most beautiful views of New York City, and to the USA in general.

I left the Twin Towers in darkness, because I wanted them to 'linger' rather than appear. The few lit up windows represents 'eace' and 'hope'.

Buildings and belongings may be breakable... but as long as we keep hope, love and peace in our hearts, we can acchieve anything.

I'm going back to Denmark tomorrow. It'll be sad. But I'm so happy I got to leave my 'mark' here.

Thank you, everyone in the US. You gave me courage ^__^

Painting done entirely in acrylics. Measures about 2-2.5 meters in width.
I used a photograph from 's stock (with permission). Thank you again, for the inspiration :3

Wow

I wish I could paint something half as good as this. Its a powerful piece, the symbolism definitely shows.
