Adventures in Sculptureland...



Aren't these bird assemblages wonderful! I found these perched atop an artists studio in Calistoga on our after Christmas vacation. We only had a few days up in Napa Valley but managed to get out and explore some new territory. These were made by Guy Pederson who sent us over to the Sculpture Gardens a few miles down the road.




Clos Pegase winery and sculpture garden was a wonderful new find. Even on New Years Eve we were the only ones wandering around the incredible grounds. Michael Graves designed the buildings in 1985 surrounded by grapes, oak trees, and mustard.

A large Dubuffet sculpture greets the visitors...


A Henry Moore piece titled Earth Mother...




Justin who turned 18 on our trip enjoying a 16th century fountain....



Jason giving the Thumbs Up sign with the big thumb...





I like signs...weathered ones...


The mustard is so beautiful in between the rows of grapes...

I have more photos to show but I am off on another adventure in the morning. Flying up to Seattle for an art filled extended weekend!
Hope that YOU have an art filled weekend as well!
