Fun Fridays ~ A little Public Art to brighten your day

Happy Friday everyone!  Today we take a visual adventure through some of the coolest public art pieces that are scattered across our country.  One of my favorite things about traveling is discovering new things...and there is nothing better then walking through a new city or driving through the country and coming upon a huge piece of art just sitting there in front of you.  Some are very modern, some are quirky and comical, and some are just classic. But what ever they are, they can always add a little humor and happiness into your day.  See if you can guess where some of these sculptures are? 

Living Scultpures

Keeping up your blog can be a task, a fun task, but nonetheless, a task (especially the busier you get). In order to help me with ideas, I keep a running folder that I fill with inspirational articles, quotes or photos that I find as I'm browsing the web late at night. It's nice to be able to have a place with a collection of fun things to refer back to.

I've had this next artist in my 'book of secrets' for close to a year...and while most of the things I store and ultimately write about tend to be green, this isn't. But with that said,it was just too cool to pass up. And besides, it's 'green'...in color.

Robert Cannon, creates these amazing life size sculptures with concrete and moss. He calls his work, Terraform, or literally, earth-shaping. I think they are pretty spectacular, and would love, love one in my backyard. Or even in my living room. A girl can keep dreaming.

Rodin, Redone.

To be working with concrete, his form and sense of proportion is amazing.

I want the next two in my garden. A soothing waterfall and cozy bench would make any outdoor sitting area more cozy and inviting!

And my favorite. This hanging structure would look amazing in the atrium of a building.

Please check out more of his work, here.

Have a great week, everyone! Xoxo, Laura
