"A Very Little Bit Of Boston" Late October 2012



Last week I spent some time in my home town, Boston, MA, USA.  Took in the Museum Of Fine Arts and a few other sites.  L.W. Roth, a fellow art blogger, asked me to post a few photos.  Hope they are enjoyable.  A very, very small glimpse into my home town.

  1. What a joy! Turner and Homer. The triple decker. What a lovely time you had. I love all the photos and have to go. I also love your unfinished streetcar. I would leave it unfinished. It has an on the move quality. The colors are vibrant and tell me you were having a fabulous time.

    1. Thank you so much Linda!
      I am going to leave the streetcar unfinished. Also important to note the newer trolleys in Boston are green. I changed this one to the orange and yellow that I remember so much as I young boy. I certainly love Boston and growing up there and living right on the harbor has had a great influence on me and my art.
      Keep on painting.

    1. Ciao! My Dear Italian Friend and Artist Floriana!
      I am glad you liked my photos. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments on my little train. I am sure Milano is beautiful. I have been to Italia several times but not yet to Milano. Our next visit will be to Milano and Trieste. Trieste is home to my wife's family.
      Ciao, Ciao, amica and grazie,

  4. Michael - Great photos!! I haven't been up to Boston in a long time. It is fun to see it through the eyes of a former resident. Thanks for sharing these.
