There hasn't been much activity on this page for a while, mainly because I was in Florida for almost 2 weeks on vacation.  This picture was on my easel went I went away and I have just managed to get back to it to finish it and tweak it in a few places.  I'm reasonably happy with it now, but as always it's hard to know when to stop.

The photo reference is a public park near Buffalo, New York where I used to live, but as we left that area almost 20 years ago, the photo is at least that old and the park has probably changed since then.  I remember it as a very pleasant place to take a walk and have memories of going there with my now deceased parents when they came to visit once.
