Guardians of the Park, 40"x60"
Guardians of the Park pays homage to John Howard, the original groundskeeper of High Park, and his enduring legacy of stewardship. This striking piece features a majestic deer standing before the park’s gates, its antlers adorned with meadowlark birds—frequent inhabitants of High Park. The dark green background evokes the park's lush environment, while the gates and trees shimmer in reflective gold paint, symbolizing both protection and reverence for the natural landscape.
A hand-drawn frame encloses the artwork, grounding it in a sense of history and tradition, while oak leaves at the deer’s feet represent the Black Oak Savannah, a unique and treasured ecosystem within the park. This piece celebrates the delicate balance between human care and natural beauty, reminding us of the importance of preservation and guardianship.
