By the Pool

Or better yet, in the pool. That is where I want to be today. (George Clooney does not have to be there. I just like what he has done with the place.)

Moore in America

I know this exhibition of Henry Moore's sculpture has been making its way across the USA, but it is especially beautiful at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. See it now through October 31st.

For more on the Moore installation in Atlanta, be sure to visit exhibition coordinator, Cathleen Cooke's Blog.

Three Mediums

More goat painting sightings--I think I am on to something.

Kidding aside, more paintings by "goat lady" Helen Durant have popped up in print--most recently in the the very cool home of son-in-law and fellow Atlanta artist, Andrew T. Crawford and family. (More photos of their home can be seen Here).

You may recognize Crawford as the creative force behind several of Atlanta's sculptural landmarks, such as the Federal Reserve Bank seen here, as well as several of the gates at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

He also creates one-of-a-kind railings, furniture and fixtures. This rocker totally reminds me of something out of the creepy, but brilliantly artful Coraline film.

I don't think it is out on DVD yet, but I highly recommend a viewing for anyone in need of creative inspiration. (The stop-motion animation is simply badass). Just don't watch it at night by yourself.
