Here is a small study for the larger painting commission of the Steinberg skating rink in Forest Park, St. Louis. We have a wonderful park, right inside the city, with great facilities that are used by citizens constantly. The Forest Park began with the 1904 World's Fair, which was hosted in St. Louis. Our Art Museum, Muny Opera and fabulous St. Louis Zoo are three main attractions.
The one buying the painting wanted the hospital buildings in the background. Steinberg is very close to one of the city's main streets, Kingshighway, with it's row of great hospitals. The one to the right is Barnes, where I was born.
My friends and I would skate every Saturday at this winter rink. Great memories.....
