"Loving the Ugly Duckling" 36" x 36" Oils on canvas

     A photo I took in Central Park NY in the summer of 2011 of the statue of Hans
     Christian Ardensen, author, poet, dramaturg born in Denmark in 1805.

     As I was ready to take the photo and this girl came running and sat on his book as
     I saw her on the camera's view finder, ( I thought to my self: what? ), and pushed
     the button of the shutter!

     It amazed me to see her pose... (as if she had practiced it many times), later I
     thought may be she loves drama.

     In 1977 I visited his home museum in Scandinavia and bought a poster of the ugly
     duckilg which hung on my wall many years. Love his books since I was a child,
     mom bought those little books for us, I love the ugly duckling since then.

     I could not talk to the girl who poses here because I was on my way to the hotel
     after a long day visit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When I checked my
     photos of my time in NY in 2011 and saw this photo, I thought: "I'll paint it some
     day". I think the girl also loves the "Ugly Duckling". Completed this painting this
     week, I started it in April of last year.
    
     I was in NY taking a painting workshop at the Grand Central Academy of Arts in
     Manhattan that summer.
