This painting, Independence Hall III, is being done in conjunction with the 2008 Artists in the Park program at Independence National Historic Park. Nick was honored to be invited to participate in this unique program which allows artists to draw and paint on the grounds of the Park, and gives them access to the historic buildings, gardens and sites in the park. Nick looks forward to seeing his work on display, along with the works of the other artists, on National Public Lands Day, September 27. The artwork will be on exhibit on Independence Mall outside the Independence Visitors Center. More information to come. | |||||||||||||||
