As evening commuters streamed into Grand Central Terminal on Tuesday, they dashed past several large oil portraits displayed on easels in Vanderbilt Hall on the way to catch their trains.
One of the models, Mr. Love, a 91-year-old music teacher whose real name is Wilbert D. Love II, played O Come, All Ye Faithful and The Star-Spangled Banner for attendees.
Jeff Scott, 70, lingered beside his portrait. An actor with large eyes and angular cheekbones, Mr. Scott had been rendered sitting on a museum bench and looking dashing in a blazer.
All 32 portraits in the show, a pop-up art exhibition called Hello Stranger, were created by Adam Dressner, a painter who captures eccentric New Yorkers.
