It’s made out of…well, I’m not sure. Bottle tops? Something like that.
I’m sorry that I didn’t record the artist.
Chuck Close’s portrait, Lucas was also huge – and very compelling.

Now, for a little art humor.
I was surprised to come around a corner and see this lovely statue of an Indian girl…wait a minute…TEXTING?

My husband said very little as we viewed all the art. But he did get excited when he discovered his favorite piece, asking me to photograph him with it.

Hope you’ve enjoyed the mini art show.
