Back Bay Flower Box

Back Bay Flower Box
Although I can easily live without the noise and traffic, I do thoroughly enjoy the grand old architecture of Boston's Back Bay.   Most of the residential brick fronts are impeccably manicured and some of the floral displays are spectacular.   I decided to paint an understated scene instead of one of the more ostentatious displays.    The canvas was small at 6x6" so a sweet and simple black flower box became the center of interest.    The bright pink and yellow flowers and English ivy cascaded over the edge casting pretty shadows below.   The nice old wrought iron is a Back Bay signature design element and is included in this small work.
