Peace Garden


This painting is not quite done yet but I wanted to look at it on-line for awhile in addition to in my studio. Rather than paint the buildings or happenings in the North End of Boston recently, I turned to my left and saw this grouping of statues in St. Leonard's Peace Garden. You might think that since the models weren't moving, that they would be a little easier to capture! I'm glad I tried this, but I need to step back for a bit and work on something else. I signed it, but when I looked at it a little later, I thought...hmmmm....

I think it's great. The only thing is the tree branch to the left catches my eye and I don't think it's supposed to. Nice subject - and maybe the models DID move.....

Thanks Kelley, I don't mind the tree branch catching the eye so much but I concur that it could use a little more of my time. I am currently working on another painting that is a little like putting a 1,000 piece puzzle together (!) so when I need to step away from that one for a few I will return to this.
