On a rainy grey, bleak day earlier this week, while waiting for the connector train at the Glenbrook Metro North station, I was delighted to suddenly behold a piece of outdoor art I had never seen before.

The painting seemed to exude sunlight, a green, fecund and fertile energy and serene sense of eternal repose to the otherwise dull mundane surroundings

There, on the side of a building opposite the station stands a mural that depicts the Newfield
Greens Golf Course displayed above. The wall art was painted in memory of Sean Rooney a Stamford resident who lost his life on 9/11/01.

The painting was commissioned by his wife, Beverly Eckert.
