The Picnic was commissioned for $110,000 by Gerald Heffernon (
visit link) of Winters, California. This sculpture tableau is based on classic 18th century European paintings about picnic themes. Instead of humans, it features four elegant bronze dogs lounging on a large flat boulder and having a relaxed picnic. This combination of factors give the sculpture a pastoral yet amusing personality which will appeal to children and adults in this intimate neighborhood park. (from (

The photos are not blurry or my camera lens dirty. The streaks are because it was starting to snow.
