Masked Whale

Doing his part to stop the Covid-19 pandemic.  We're all under orders here in Connecticut to wear masks in public.

Driftwood Sculpture

Niantic, CT 2019

For some reason, I don't think these pieces of driftwood just happened to be placed just like this solely due to the forces of wind and surf.  

2017 in Review - July - Persistence

Persistence by Amy Foster

Mystic, CT  2017

I looked at this for quite some time and took numerous pictures, but I'm not sure I entirely happy with any of them.  It is an interesting sculpture, which I came across in a Mystic Art Gallery last summer.

New Sculpture

New London, CT  2017

I've noticed that new sculptures are appearing in public places around New London.  

Dr Seuss

Springfield, MA  2017

Surrounded by the Springfield Museums is the Dr Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden which features a number of the characters made famous by this beloved children's author. Theodore Robert Geisel was born and raised in Springfield, MA.  Adjacent to the sculpture garden is the recently opened "World of Dr Seuss" museum.  

Face and Owl

Madison, CT  2017

I would think these two sculptures were done by the same artist.  Similar forms and materials were used.   

Zipper?

Madison, CT 2017

I'm not sure what to call this. 

Blue Sculpture

Madison, CT  2017

The sculpture walk in Madison had some very interesting pieces, but I could fine no names or artists for the individual sculptures.  Some were obviously done by the same artist, with the same materials. This one was rather unique, however.

Key Bank Courtyard

Madison, CT  2017

I recently did some exploring through the shoreline communities in Connecticut and spent a few hours enjoying the downtown/business area of Madison, CT.  The main street in Madison is US Route 1, also known as Boston Post Road.  Tucked between the businesses there is this courtyard which features a number of interesting sculptures, although none had any attributions from what I could see.  I'll be featuring some of the more interesting sculptures this week.

Goodyear

Mattatuck Museum, Waterbury, CT  2017

Charles Goodyear is prominently displayed in the Mattatuck Museum.  I learned that Goodyear developed the process for vulcanizing rubber right here in Connecticut.  The portrait below is actually painted on rubber.
