May Day Mood Board – Swan Boats, Boston Public Garden

Mood board inspired by Jason Berger's painting, Swan Boats, Boston Public Garden.

Everything seems to fall into place when the swans and the swan boats are back and it’s warm enough to enjoy a day in the Public Garden. The late expressionist painter Jason Berger, who hailed from the Boston area, celebrates the joy of lovely weather in his painting Swan Boats, Boston Public Garden, and we imagine a room around it – perhaps a sun porch in town or a living area at a vacation home – with an uplifting vibe of layered, breeziness, purple hues and playful fabrics and textures.
