Watercolor"October on the Charles" by artist, John Gable shows crews rowing through the Weeks foot-bridge  on Boston's Charles River. The fall colors are glorious! In the foreground there is a
crowd of friends gathered to watch the race, on the bridge is a crowd of spectators cheering. John Gable's rendering of the figures in the foreground and the softness of the background give it such a realistic feel. Overall print dimensions are 27 1/2"h x 22"w with the image size at 17"h x 23"w. This watercolor was printed as a Limited Edition of 450 lithograph.  Unframed.
