As promised today I will give you more of the sculptures from our wonderful traveling exhibition that is located in downtown Mason City. To see the first selections click on this link and it will open a new window with my post featuring the first 8 sculptures.
Huckleberry Daze by Jerry McKellar
Carlton loved Huckleberry Daze and I managed to get a smile AND eyes open on this picture!!!
Solar Harmony by Chris Kilbane
Tickled by Louise Peterson
I think the artist got this one perfectly!!!! Doesn’t he look realistic????
Daddy Long Legs by David Vande Vusse
Going for the Goal by Dee Clements
Healing a Broken Heart by Lynn Peterson
This one is in front of our church, First UMC, and across the street from Hospice so it seems appropriately placed.
Summer Distractions by Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby
Dreams of Ecstasy by Martin Eichinger
Natural Wonders by Michele Moushey Dale
I loved the bunny peeking around the back!!
So tell me—which one is your favorite one today??? My favorite is still ahead……come back Saturday for the rest of the sculptures!!!!

Leave a commentI love these! These are really interesting and well done. Thanks!
You are welcome! It is a great bonus to our downtown to have these here, I think!
Wonderful! And it’s hard to get a photo of me with my eyes open as well. I do this weird thing when I pose for the camera: Smile, close eyes, and put my arms behind me like I’m ski jumping. I have no idea why I do or how to stop it.
Acknowledging your problem is half the battle—-or so they tell me! 🙂 Is that something that you have always done? In your grade school pictures are you posing like that? It made me giggle to read that!
Oh my grade school photos are horrible. I hope I never become famous! I look like I’m eating my bottom lip in those. I don’t sit still and smile well and that was my solution of doing something.
What do you mean you hope you never become famous? YOU ARE FAMOUS!!!
I thought the Daddy Long Legs was my favorite and then as I went down the page there were too many cool ones to pick. Love the one with the kitty and is that Piglet hanging from the handle bars on the scooter thingie??? 😀 Happy Birthday to your son!!!
I think it is Piglet!!! I didn’t photograph all of them as well as I should have!! Some of my favorite ones are still to be featured…..I am thinking that will be Saturday’s post!!!
First, happy birthday to your precious Aaron! For me, a son/daughter’s birthday is just such a special day of remembering and celebrating.
Second, I love so many of the sculptures featured here today that it’s tough to choose a fav. But I’ll have to go with “Healing a Broken Heart.” I like the simplicity of it and the poetic thoughts it evokes.
Also, I recognized “Tickled” as a sculpture I photographed in Mankato two years ago. You can see it by clicking here: http://mnprairieroots.com/2011/07/09/a-virtual-tour-of-mankatos-sculpture-walk/
Oh yea—-we have a connection with Tickled!!! Awesome!!!!
Going to link to these on my final post. How did I miss these? I think it might have been before I “followed” you…..
Thanks for sharing, Beth Ann. This is a cool exhibit. Is this your home town, or one close by?
This is where we live now, Christine. They are very neat and part of a traveling show. I am going to link to another one that Audrey from Minnesota blogged about on Saturday.
As a dog owner…Tickled is my fave!
Yep—it seems to be the fav of many!!!
I think I’ll have to go with Natural Wonders though Summer distractions and Going for the goal were close..
I can’t believe you did not pick the Dreams of Ecstasy or whatever is is called! Haha. It is actually my least favorite one if the lot.
It was much too “busy” even for a dirty old man..
Hehehe! I was not a fan of it either. It seemed oddly out of place.
Everything else seemed “down-home America” that one seemed more fitting for the metropolitan museum of modern art.
Yep! I agree!
My vote is Natural Wonders… Maybe that’s not a big surprise…? 🙂
Summer Distractions was my favorite as it looked so real.
Summer Distractions was VERY realistic!!!! I think your favorite might come in the Saturday post but I could be wrong!
Happy Birthday Aaron. 25 is a number with tons of potential. Happy Birth Day Beth! I liked Natural Wonders….but that Daddy long legs is pretty cute!
Natural Wonders had a lot going on but the Daddy Long Legs is pretty awesome. I posed underneath it …..but the picture turned out looking dorky. Course that is normal for my pictures!
Happy birthday, Aaron! Lots of good ones today, hmmmm. Solar Harmony was my first pick, but I also like Healing a Broken Heart. Thanks for sharing these with us!
Solar Harmony was my least favorite for some reason so I am glad you liked it! Healing the Broken Heart is a really neat one and even better because it is in front of my church!
This time I think I liked the dog, the skating kid or the kid on the scooter.
Those seemed to be popular picks!
I love Natural Wonders! there are many good ones though.
That was a really detailed one. Sometimes my pictures did not do them justice but this one I loved!
[…] we wait until September to see what the People’s Choice will be. My previous posts here and here show the first […]
