This is a summer of 2007 painting done from life at Sibley Park.  The park department added some sculpture last summer, so I had the opportunity to incorporate a figurative element to the paintings.  I have been thinking about adding figures, but it changes the painting context so much.  While I am painting in the morning, there really aren't too many people around and I have liked the paintings without the narrative that people bring to it.
