With this painting, we stroll the Commons at a very special moment in time - a chilly winter's evening in the weeks following the 2005 Super Bowl triumph. Flags celebrating both the champion Red Sox, as well as the victorious Patriots festoon the square. Blazing lights seem to herald the celebration; the glowing façade of Park Street Church looms like a victory torch while a chestnut vendor adds to the festive air.
