36/52: View Through

View through art. View through "Summer Dance" by Barbara Hepworth. This view through is from the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids Michigan.

Okay, this pic is from last summer but only because my camera fell to the floor (one too many times) and broke. I had to go to the archives for a "View Through."

Sad Lion

Although this lion should be guarding the entrance
he just heard there is a change coming to
This is Eric's Blog and is somewhat melancholy.

Ecolo - Goddess of Earth

Who is this sweet maid who stoops
protectively to save the earth
from man's pernicious tread?

It is the blithe spirit of ecology
by whom all life and natural
things are fed.

Leave the house and forget something again? Never fear! At times a cell phone can take a pretty darn good pic!

Dig it

On the last road trip I discovered how full sized trees are moved from place to place. They use a giant trowel like the one pictured here. Someone must have forgot to put it away after planting these pines.

It is called "Plantoir" by Claes Oldenburg.

In the woods I came across a "What the ?"

The artless wall

I broke my art awhile back. Just the glass in the frame. And then the mat warped. Now I broke it more.

Shouldn't fool with the art. Just let it be.

It's now time for new art.

Sad bare wall needs art on a budget.

Today in the world of art is a sculpture from David Barr called "Dawn" that can be seen close to my hood in Warren, Michigan. Since the sculpture consists of two pieces of different sizes, I will consider this one to be Little Dawn. Don't know what Mr. Barr calls it.

Since it was clear and warm and sunny this morning while I was traveling up through Warren (and had my camera with me) it was a perfect opportunity to stop for a photo shoot.

Now that I have your attention... these are the naked peeps that stand on top of the silver star I posted on January 1, 2009. It's "The Star Dream" by Marshall M. Fredericks and is down the street from me.

How big is your stone?

Today's biblical lesson: when David went forward to fight Goliath, he was armed with little besides a sling and his wit. I have been told he did NOT have any anti anxiety medication with him. What do YOU see in his eyes?

Frosty face

A new year begins.
