watercolor 21x14 :  dedicated to my dog boomer
an image of a best friend and his human captured in mid-daydream.
this painting is an imaginary scene 
and based - not-too loosely - on an actual spot in central park, nyc

  11. thanks again everybody. what i guess i love most about new york is the success of its historic and visionary planning - the genius of olmstead working with great architects and together envisioning a magical city that - in their day - did not yet exist: a city in which nature would play as strong a hand as would the majestic buildings. and like destiny, that very city grew all around for decades to come - it evolves still. but the parks - the magnificent open spaces - remain sacred and inviolate for generations of dreamers!.
