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...
