What beautiful play on shadows and reflections! Didn't know this artist, but it's awesome

He made a mural with Tiffany glass that you can see in Philly and it’s absolutely breathtaking to behold. I’ve been told it appears in the Sixth Sense movie but idk.

I think that's either JMV turner or Thomas Kinkade, at least according to Wikipedia
