Industrial modernist garden sculpture

This is a piece of garden art by a local artist Paul Owen.  His sculptures usually move in the wind and chime. On this one he did not have time to  add the swinging gong and I kinda like the simplicity. My kids always hit it with spoons anyway and it sounds great

oil spill oil painting

Oh my lord I am such a lazy blogger well not really we are knee deep in renovation - but I finally found I have a follower that is not a family member. How exciting. So here is some updating.

I promise to post again soon.
