Boston: Final Vacay Post

We were in Boston for too short a time... Anyway, I did get some sketches at the Boston Common and the Boston Garden...

Swan boats in the Garden
The duck sculpture is based on Make Way for Ducklings by Caldecott winner Robert McClosky and is sculpted by Nancy Schon.

I have always loved McClosky's work. Blueberries for Sal is a favorite.

Me with the sculpture...










The park is lovely...
We also headed to Copley Square and the Boston Public Library. What an amazing collection of art! The Edwin Abbey Holy Grail murals and the John Singer Sargent Triumph of Religion murals are the tip of the iceberg. There was cool art everywhere, even a room of amazing (but creepy) puppets.

Some of my mediocre photos are posted here on the Cincinnati Illustrators Blog

Anyway, more sketches of course...

One of the stairway lions...
Gorgeous courtyard

Marble turtle lamp in the Abbey room...
