Paladin at Flint Hill Public House

I recently was treated to lunch at Flint Hill Public House during my “birthday month celebration”. (Thanks Jennifer.) While there I got to see up close the public art sculpture they have on display out front – Paladin.

This is an impressive work of art in steel and recycled auto parts. It was relocated to it’s current location from the former LBJ Ranch in Texas. You can learn more about it and see other photos of it by clicking here.

And if you are in the area be sure to stop in. The food is excellent and the art is too!
