"Water Dance" Acrylic on Paper -Silvana Siudut©
Summertime in Boston, Ma… How wonderful it can be! For sure not everyone feels this way, but if you ever find yourselves in the midst of the Boston Public Gardens during summer, you will know what I mean.
The above painting “Water Dance” is one of a series I did representing some of my absolute favorite spots at the BPG. The perfect resting place from the hustle and bustle of the city.
When you enter those gates, you are in another world. When I was younger, I spent a lot more time at the Gardens: eating lunch there, walking through it after work, and just visiting it on weekends. If you like people watching, this is the place. When sitting there, on a park bench under the ancient Weeping Willows listening to the refreshing sound of one of the many fountains it is simply a pleasure. Late afternoon when the sun plays with shadows, the city quiets down, refreshing shade and fountain music: What more could one want?
The fountain in my painting: “Boy and Bird” Bronze, was created by Baslka Paeff- Mrs. Samuel Waxman. (1893-1979) A Russian sculptor immigrated to the States. She was nicknamed the “Subway Sculptor” because she worked for the T at Park Street station.
My series of paintings are large and would enrich and complement many fine settings.
