Avenue of the Pines, Saratoga Springs, NY

The Saratoga State Park has a wonderful long road as its entrance lined with tall pine trees. Its called The Avenue of the Pines. And basically, the park should be called the Park of the Pines. Tall pine trees are all over in the park. One day, I set up my easel and watched cars stroll by. I imagined a time, maybe in the 40's shortly after the park was built, when people went out for a Sunday stroll. Maybe they were visiting the Gideon Putnam or attending a party at the Hall of Springs. The park has something for everyone, and this painting would appeal to any park goer!
