"I am grateful
for the inspiration
of joyful expression
found in Elizabeth Park."
Anne O. Kubitsky is a writer and artist based in Old Lyme, Connecticut. She has distributed hundreds of blank postcards, inviting strangers to attach the postcard to something for which they are grateful and mail it back to her. The postcards and Anne's artwork about gratitude have
been shown in numerous exhibitions.
This brightly painted pair of doors is an installation by Anne in a quiet corner of -- where else? --
Elizabeth Park, behind the Pond House and adjacent to the pond.
Linked to Monday Mural.
Beautiful Jack!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have received a postcard since you are such a grateful supporter and photographer of Elizabeth Park. Incidentally, from hence comes the name of the park?
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeletelovely!
ReplyDeleteKate, in 1894 Charles Pond donated his estate to the City of Hartford in honor of his wife, Elizabeth, for whom the park was named when it opened in 1897. The restaurant and function building sits beside the pond, and it is called Pond House, not because of the pond side site, but in honor of Charles and Elizabeth Pond.
ReplyDeleteI like her installation in the park. Perfect backdrop too.
ReplyDeleteColourful, eye catching, heartwarming...a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteThe doors are beautiful and in a perfect setting which you have photographed expertly.
ReplyDeleteFor what I have seen from your photo it would be hard to disagree...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous place this park is, Jack!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome park, Jack!! I would love to visit there, but your captures are the next best thing!! Beautiful parks are such a plus for any city! Hope your week is off to a great start!! Enjoy!!

Blimey, that's marvellous! It's creative and so full of imagination!
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for people who put unexpected and beautiful things in odd places - and those who show me them on their blogs.
ReplyDeleteCertainly an inspirational place.
ReplyDeleteIt stands out beautifully against the water.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece of art.
ReplyDeleteJack, Thanks for the explanation of the park's name.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly lovely and such a nice sentiment. With Hartford's winters I wonder if this piece is taken in or perhaps temporary?
ReplyDeleteGreat setting for the door art work. Allowed you to do your own fine composition.
ReplyDeleteEveryone had one of those old Samsonite suitcases in the 1960s. Wheelie bags work better in airports now.
A metaphoric door opening onto an intricate and contemplative world? Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
