Boston Public Garden—Lagoon Bridge in winter

It's great to stretch one's boundaries as an artist, so with that in mind I've been working on some new paintings of Boston.

I bounded into Boston recently to capture images for an evening scene I'm working on for an exciting new commission and was compelled to return. Here are a few of my paintings. They are available so send an email at soniahale1@gmail.com if you are interested in any of them.

Lagoon Bridge is said to be the world's shortest suspension bridge. Just think of the drama of the Golden Gate bridge of San Francison as a contrast in length and size. However, I believe Lagoon bridge is the equal of the Golden Gate bridge in beauty, especially as it is constantly changing with the gorgeous four seasons we have here.

Years ago this lagoon was deliberately flooded for ice skaters, but now eveyone skates on the Boston Common's Frog Pond.
