Unexpected Painters in Unexpected Place

When I arrived at The Studio late yesterday afternoon to set up for Coloring & Cocktails I heard what sounded like a gaggle of excited geese on Main Street. When I walked around the corner to open The Studio door I saw what was making that loud sound. Children! Excited children painting the windows at the Town Administration Building with some fun holiday scenes. These kids are from local elementary schools.

Who knew that a dozen painters could make so much noise!!!

Great job kids. The windows look great! And thanks Town of Front Royal for giving these kids such a public place to show off their art.

We enjoyed a relaxing day yesterday biking around and stopping to see some amazing art. These horse sculptures just stand out in an open space by the marsh. I couldn’t find anything nearby who said who created them so I Googled it when I got back to the house. Here is what I found:

“These unique horse sculptures are a part of Hilton Head Island’s growing art collection. May 1st they were placed on a parcel of town-owned property beside William Hilton Head Parkway near mid-island. The sculptures are by Jonathan Bowling of Greenville, NC and are made from repurposed steel. Previously they were on display at the Coastal Discovery Museum at Honey Horn on the north end of the island.”

I have been wanting to learn to weld so this makes me want to even more!

What I love about just driving around on a little vacation instead of making lots of plans to be in a certain place at a certain time is that you run upon some interesting things.

This happened to us in Meadville, PA. We drove by a fence at their Department of Transportation facility and found the most wonderful public art. All of these are made of road signs. How cool is that?!
