This week we go back to the awesome inspiration of Cinncinnati’s Union Terminal, an Art Deco Mecca that has already inspired a couple of pieces in this space since I visited there for the first time in August.

This time it’s a quick acrylic painting on cheap canvas board, done from memory, using a limited palette of colors because I need to stock up again in a couple of weeks when I go to Blick Art in Chicago.

This was just me limbering up the fingers after slaving away on The 2025 PopCult Gift Guide all month.  And that, by the way, will now run into December, instead of ending this week. More gift suggestions came in over the transom while we were putting it together. Look for two more entries later today.

Actually we don’t really have a transom, but it sure would be cool if we did.

This painting is me trying to be less accurate and more expressive and also less Hopperesque. I don’t want to be nailed down to hyper-realism all the time.

Later today we continue The 2025 PopCult Gift Guide.
