Boston Near the Finish Line
12" by 12"
Oil with a palette knife on cradled board
SOLD
I painted this several years ago, before all the madness that happened last year during the Boston Marathon. I like this view of Boston that shows the variety of architectural styles in this part of town-The Back Bay. What I have always enjoyed about this day is that is it a holiday in the city so no need to go into the office today. Yay!
Last Friday, we went to the Boston Public Library where they have an exhibit with a special collection of all of the items left at the site of the bombings last year. You can't help but get choked up. Really moving and special. I took a few shots while we were there.
This is just a small portion of all of the running shoes left at the spontaneous memorials near the finish line.
I noticed that one shoe has a bottle of Advil left with it.
I love this sign. Feel Better. Yes.
At the end, they have about these trees where you could write your sentiments or wishes on a white tag then hang it on one of the trees. Cool idea.
Here's hoping for a fun and successful marathon run for everyone participating.

I loved this lady thoughfully writing her sentiments down to hang on the tree.

Love how you manage even the finest details with your palette knife (i.e., the street lights, the words). A fabulous painting and such a great piece to go with your caring post on the Boston Marathon victims.
