Once a year, the Copley Society sends its artist members across the city to capture Boston at that moment in time. The event is called Fresh Paint. The works produced are sold a week later at a gala auction to benefit the organization.
They say: "The Copley Society of Art, Co|So, is the oldest non-profit art association in the United States, with a history dating back to 1879. We currently represent over 500 living artist members, ranging in experience from students to nationally-recognized artists and in style from traditional and academic realists to contemporary and abstract painters, photographers, and sculptors."
We Say: This is one of our favorite walks of the year. It's free, you pick your route, you get to meet and chat with talented people, and you can even take your dog along. And, the Co|So gallery on Newbury Street is always worth a visit. Drop by before the weekend, pick up a map, gather some friends, and enjoy this uniquely Boston experience.
In the photo above from last year, artist Hilary Baldwin had a perfect day to paint a scene of the Public Garden and the Back Bay beyond.

Marlborough Street before 8 am can be a streetscape gallery of shadows and light with that cool, blue tone that is the hallmark of morning light.
“Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.” (Junichiro Tanizaki– Japanese Author 1886 – 1965)

Today, we're introducing a new series of "At The Market" reports. As new crops arrive in the Greater Boston markets, we'll bring you photos of what is fresh, local, and delicious. We hope it will remind you to buy, cook, savor, and celebrate what is in season and at its best.
Our friends in the farming community will share details of what's available now, how long it will be around, and when to expect it as your next seasonal treat.
And, we hope you'll share what you find with the rest of the BostonZest community.
In Season This Week:
These plants are from the Herb Lyceum but we are see pots of fresh herbs all over, even at Trader Joe's.
Local, super fresh eggs have been at the winter farmers' markets all year round. Farmers with livestock have products to sell in every season!
Boston Organics is putting "spring-dug parsnips" in their Dogma Boxes.
Coming Soon:
Remember growing radishes as a kid? They were always the first fruit of our garden labor. Farmers will also be bringing rhubarb, fiddlehead ferns, and green garlic to some of the first summer markets.
