Loved the poem and the painting. Was transported back in time to a summertime of my own complete with the smells and Sounds. Thanks, Bud!

Wonderful 😊 Seurat sketched roughly sixty individual studies in the park to prepare for this painting. Did you notice a familiar face? His muse reappears in nearly half of the subjects portrayed. Regrettably, he didn’t keep these master drawings. Luckily, we have the completed a ten-foot-wide painting to examine.
