Art at WEG

This post is especially for my talented friends:  brother Tom and sister-in-law Pat at http://tompatbauman.blogspot.com/, who make jewelry, friend Jan who makes bronzes, friend Suzanne who taught art for years and years, blog friends Lori at http://skoogfarm.blogspot.com/ and Sandy at
http://dustyd-flyawayhome.blogspot.com/, who are both artists.  I don't have a drop of artistic talent, and I so admire you who do.

The sparkle horse was suspended from a ceiling.

"Warhorse" by Douwe Blumberg



"Reflections" by Douwe Blumberg
This piece is 11' tall.  The horse is bronze, and the reflection is stainless steel.
It's stunning.

All the pieces are beautiful. I thought the wooden wooden horses were my favorite until I saw "Reflections". It is just breathtaking. Wow.

I like to think I'm artistic, but I have no proof. :)

WOW! Terry, these are incredible! The second one, stainless steel, breath-taking. Thanks so much.
Now for that Duet you were looking for? It was a trail run for that post....wasn't sure if it worked on not. It's posted now though....hope you enjoy it.

Horses sure do inspire a lot of folks, don't they? That Reflections one is breathtaking. I could look at it all day--I'm surprised you could get a picture of it without people surrounding it!

Thanks Terry, Pat and I love all of them! And you're right, I'm particularly fond of the Samurai ~ I just love seeing waxes in progress. It's fascinating. David Blumberg's Warhorse has an amazing presence.

And Dear Sister . . . Living is an artform. Living well requires true artistic talent.

Love
~ Tom

Oh, I love the "reflections" one. But, they are all just beautiful. Of course, to me, the greatest art would be all of the living beauties that you saw on your trip.

Wow. Bad horse art is SO terrible (you know, little resin cowboy horses in snowglobes for sale at truck stops), but good horse art is breathtaking! Thanks :)
