You can see the cement still around the lower left and sides that hasn't been painted.

Amazing!

More of the statues from earlier this week. These were the readers, a little boy and girl sitting and reading their books. I love how they have been placed just out and about in the yard like they are really there just enjoying the sunshine with their books.

I love the details the artist has painstaking added, especially the facial expressions and fingers and toes.














When we were out today, we passed by here and I saw a couple of other ones of children jumping rope and jumping over stones, so I'll need to go back and show you them another day!

Zepher - Another of the 'Art Around the Corner' Piece - This one is for sale and is in the Historic District, which you see in the background. Don't you just love this face?

Over the next few days I may be posting a series of photos instead of just one. After looking at the photos I got I just couldn't narrow it down to one a day.

We went to the one of the original historic parts of St George around Main street where artists have donated these beautiful pieces of art.

Called "Art Around the Corner" it's a beautiful display of sculpture.


There are a lot of art galleries along main street and many buildings date back to the 1800's. If you come to visit make sure you take a right on 100 North and see the historic buildings there.







Many are on loan and are for sale, some will remain for just a period of time for the communities pleasure and others have been donated to the city for the public's viewing for as long as the city wishes to display them.


This first set was a depiction of two children on a bike, the detail is amazing. I tried to get enough shots so you could really get a feel for the detail in the face, feet and hands as well as everything else. Beautifully done, I'll be on the lookout as some are replaced with new ones. I'm sure we've missed some that hopefully I'll find as time goes on.


I think the artist has really captured the essence of youth here. I hope if you visit our community you'll have time to take a walk in the sunshine and enjoy the talent of the area.







Take a look at these tennis shoes and the bike, looks real doesn't it?

Southern Utah has surprised with how many unique things they have, St George itself was recently listed as one of top places to visit in the nation.

This last photo shows a close up of this little foot in the background. So precious

365/44 Sunday February 15 - 2009 - Kayenta Art Festival - A short drive from our home is Kayenta a development of artists who are sculptures, jewlery makers, potters, iron workers, painters etc etc etc. Today they had their Festival featuring over 90 artisans.


Amazing talent in such a small area. This is a view of one of the metal sculptures that was blowing in the wind. This is the weaver showing us how he moves his loom. He was from Prescott Arizona and had the most amazing rugs.
