Public Garden with Duck Statues

Oil on canvas, 11" x 14", 2010, SOLD
Well I finally caved and painted the duck statues. I believe my integrity can withstand the risk. I did marvel to the book as a child (and am still quite impressed with it). Also I hope I got an angle that hasn't been done to death (or done). I let the rising slope of Boston Common shine in the background and sprinkled it with shimmering peppermint stick - like buildings. (everyone sees Boston that way - right?).
Chalk this up to the influence from the very tenacious street artists Charlie Wang and Fei Yung among many other luminary artistic figures from Boston.'
