About

New York offers its delights to many travelers. In this wonderful painting, John Varriano captures a couple of tourists enjoying a lovely day in Central Park. There is a feeling of calm energy, almost a voluminous density of stillness and unity. You can feel the cool water in the pond and the fullness of the trees as if they were sculpted in color. A “Joy of Life” extends beyond the boundaries of the painting to engulf the viewer with an exuberant sense of well-being.
