The Copley Society’s Fresh Paint Is a Perfect Walk for Sunday Dogs and Their Humans.

Next Sunday, April 24, 2016, is Fresh Paint Day! Put it on your dog walk calendar because that’s when the talented artists from the Copley Society of Art spread out across the area to create a fresh work of art that will be auctioned off at their May 5th gala.

A few years ago, we had the pleasure of meeting Amber when she was in the Public Garden assisting her own personal artist as he worked on his Fresh Paint contribution.

It’s also a great photo walk for those who love to give their cameras or phones the challenge of recording what’s happening on a day like this.

Gather the pack, get a map of where the artists will be from the Copley Society, plan a picnic lunch along the way, and give the dogs a nice long walk while you pick out your favorite piece of artwork to bid on for that doghouse of yours.

Get to know all of our Sunday Dogs at Boston Dogs.

Thanks to everyone who Hops over to Amazon from here to do their shopping. We appreciate your support.

Painting the Town: Fresh Paint Event from the Copley Society

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.

Red Leaf: Photo of the Week

This leaf, caught in the grate over a utility well, was the subject of a bunch of photos we took this week. Here's one of our favorites!

The autumn colors en masse on the trees draw eyes and our lenses. But, sometimes a single leaf can be the focus of our attention.

Join us in looking for colorful leaves caught in interesting places while the colorful show lasts. If you'd like your photo considered for a photo of the week, upload it to the BostonZest Photo Pool on Flickr.

Bass Fishing on the Charles River

All summer long, we've seen rods and reels along the Esplanade as anglers choose favorite spots for a major bass fishing tournament to be held on the Charles and Mystic Rivers in September. The B.A.S.S. Federation Nation, Eastern Division Championship will take place on the Charles and Mystic Rivers from September 12th to the 14th, 2012.

This bass, caught along the Esplanade canoeway, was too small to keep. After posing for a quick photo, it was returned to the river.

Perhaps the currents under the Mass Ave Bridge are a sweet spot for this angler.
