Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
I wish it was possible to name all the artists and each piece of work at Broomhill, but I’d need a week there. So I’ll let you just enjoy – or otherwise, a few more sculpture shots.
Any favourites or any that you strongly dislike?
I haven’t taken part in Ailsa’s travel them for a long time – simply because of a lack of time, but I couldn’t resist this one.
As you know I recently visited a sculpture garden in north Devon and came home with hundreds of photos. The friend I went with won’t thank me for putting up a photo of her, but it was her favourite sculpture, and I doubt she’ll see it anyway, prove me wrong Woosie!

Bristol museum has a couple of Banksy’s in it’s collection and I remembered this one when I thought about contrasts.
This isn’t how I tend to see an angel, the statue beneath may be, but Banksy has added a little something to make us think as usual.
The trashy paint pan is in complete contrast to the angel. Here is what the Museum has to say about it.
and another look.
What are your thoughts, are you aware of Banksy’s work?

Yesterday I said I would post some more photos of the wonderful sculpture at Broomhill Art Hotel, but easier said than done. I took so many photos, there was such a wide range of work and many, many pieces that I liked, that I hardly know where to begin.
So, these are some of the first I saw, whilst having coffee and a freshly baked cookie on the hotel terrace. I’m fairly sure these are from two artists, Laury Dezengremel and Carol Peace.
I hope you like them as much as I do, if so do you have a favourite?
For Bastet’s Pixelventures, except that I’mnot sure I’ve got it right!

Yesterday I had another Birthmonth day out, to a sculpture garden in North Devon. More about to follow about that, but for now I wanted to show you these few sculptures we found gathered in a small area. The first was a real double take,
But it fitted well with the rest,
Very dark don’t you think? especially the suicide bomber, a shocking interpretation of life and death.
Chichester cathedral has a beautiful metal screen ,between it and the vaults, the treasure awaits, some of the Cathedral’s silver!
Caught between two worlds, almost as if an invisible sci-fi force field is wrapped around the people inside.
A flower for two bees to share between them.
