This was done in Autumn after the season of tourists and before the season of Christmas decoration. The light feels cool, the girls are covered up and the tree in the distance gives the final clue as to the time of year.
North Square is the oldest "piazza" in North America and features one of the most spectacular Copper-fronted buildings in the North End: Gennaro's Five North Square Restaurant. I love all the copperfronts in 'The Neighborhood', and I love painting them in all their patina'ed green glory. People are constantly stopping to take photos of the building as well, which I think attests to my good taste in turn-of-the-century architecture.
This horizontal-format painting doesn't show the three copper bay window columns that go up all four floors, but I do have another wintry scene in a vertical format that includes the tree in the square (and the battleship chains shown here) covered in snow.
