Harry and David Pears

Walk in the Park, Central Park


Here is my submission for the " A Day Not Wasted Blog" put on by Lee Brown. Last time I took a trip to NYC, and after visiting the Metropolitan, my wife and I visited Central Park and walked under the same viaducts and admired the Art Nouveau streetlamps, Lee's photo reference brought back memories. This oil painting is on a 16 by 20 canvas.

Here I am posting a little practice piece, a still life, with a Nautilus and a peeled Tangerine on a green marble counter, painted with oil on a 14 by 11 canvas panel.
