Yard Art

We love yard art. Luckily for the neighbors, we only have three pieces.
We added a new piece a couple of weeks ago when we were at the
Monte Sano Art Show.


We got Ollie the Ostrich in the Spring at Panoply. We got the flower from the same artist at Panoply in 2002. The flower even traveled to Italy with us and lived in our garden there!

I became interested in these kinds of things way back in 1998/1999 when Jason and I were living in Colorado Springs. One weekend day when we were driving around and exploring the area, we came across a home with a fantastical sculpture garden. It was amazing! Come to find out, it was the work of artist Starr Kempf (died 1995) and had been displayed at his home for many years. Apparently, there was much controversy surround the sculpture garden and I'm not sure if any of the art is still there.



Obviously we would never have (nor could we afford) things of this size on our property, but isn't it neat?!
