#123 Riverside Park

(click for larger view) Sketched in January 2007.  This text written in 2013.  I couldn't have known when I sketched this view that I would pass this spot so many, many more times.  These days my short morning run takes me to the river, as opposed to Central Park, and I job past those very seats.  When Zoe was a little younger and would actually sit in the stroller, or when she was younger still, barely a bundle, I would take her this way on my way to the pier on 72nd Street.  The paper it was sketched on isn't art paper and buckled due to the water of the watercolors. What seemed transient then, did in fact become a fixture.
