Bethesda Fountain

Central Park in New York City in the summer. People love to gather around fountains. This scene offered so many varied and interesting things to paint: people, the design of the fountain with the Angel of Water blessing the Pool of Bethesda, the effects of dazzling sunlight on the splashing water, the contrast between the bright sunshine in the open spaces with thick foliage all around. It was fun but challenging! The place is such a haven for New Yorkers.

Bethesda Terrace overlooks The Lake in New York City’s Central Park. Bethesda Fountain is the central feature on the lower level of the terrace.
