The colors are as bright as the day they were laid to the paper.
I have taken a stroll along this exact spot and this painting truly captures a perfect moment in a perfect spot in the city that never sleeps.
There is a timelessness about the image. We know it's modern era but it feels ageless like all great paintings. when you look upon it you are transported to the joy, the romance, the sanctuary of the park in the heart of the city

Bogomir Bogdanovic's paintings of Central park and all of it's seasons come directly from a hand of a true master. They straddle effortlessly the line between pure iImpressionism and classic realism capturing time and place succinctly with each brush str poke and choice of subject.

"Bogdanovic’s work consists of varied subjects, primarily of breathtaking landscapes dotted with people from New York City, Warwick, and neighboring Sussex County. “I paint everything,” he says, but not abstractions, as he prefers his art to be recognizable; “it’s an amazing experience to watch a painting reveal itself, be it on paper or canvas.” Enduring long hours in snow and ice, he painted on location better known as Plein Air style, rarely using photographs unless he has taken them himself.

"Born in Senje, Yugoslavia, in 1923, Bogdanovic studied Art and Architecture at Belgrade University and then immigrated to New York in 1957, at the age of 34. While making a living as an illustrator for a manufacturing company, he painted the seasonal beauty of New York City in oil and watercolor. His heart’s desire was also to capture the picturesque countryside of upstate New York where he discovered the quaint town of Warwick, satisfying his need to be close to New York City for the artists market and the serene subject matter he loved to paint." less
