30" x 20" acrylic
This was taken from a photograph of the Boston Public Garden. I had found the photograph in a book in the library, then returned the book. I didn't know where the location was until I was watching "The Parent Trap" years later with my wife and kids and we saw that bridge in the background. A little research revealed the location. Apparently, the swan boats have been famous for over a century. The water and the boat are the most vivid, colorful part of the painting intentionally. If I could do it over, I'd have the boy looking at the boat instead of reading. Also, I would have toned down the black colors in the bridge.
