Sculpture Garden on Sunday

Think twice it does matter!

Without Words
Judith Shea artist

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why
your head's too big 
and off it fell
it really doesn't matter it's just art!

As for why the giant blue rooster came to be here at the garden, 
If you don't know by now
read this.

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

you'll know where to find him.

Spoonbridge and Cherry

Walking up to that lonesome spoon with it's friend the cherry
is one of my long time favorite pieces here.

On a brisk Sunday afternoon we toured the revamped

Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

which reopened in June 2017

The evening news showed a photo from a lake in the city without any park goers implying it was too cold for a stroll. However, we were out and there were a good number of other people out as well, and many with their dogs.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

Next is Mark Manders, September Room (room with two reclining figures and Composition with long verticals)

Can you spy the spoon and cherry?

Courtesy of two faces or is it really one?

I'm sharing two of the quote benches, and we actually had to stop reading them, since they were a bit too risque for my munchkin!

Bench and quotes
From the Living Series

Rapture
Kiki Smith

"An artist is one who can see divinity in nudity.

Ramana Pemmaraju

Hephaestus
Matthew Monahan

Don't let him scare you away little one, 
see his friendly smile?

Have a seat, stay for awhile and rest your weary thoughts.



"Always remember the primary purpose of your life
 is living in tune with your energy pattern,
find the true expression for the energy 
and go with the flow."

Ramana Pemmaraju

A cup of Hot Chocolate was in order, to warm up before we headed to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the comfort of being in a warm building.

Thanks for sharing time with me
take good care of you.
