Oh my goodness, these are all so good.
If I really had to choose a favourite it would be Big Sister.

All the best Jan

Oh my gosh these are wonderful...I’m a big fan of outdoor art, the sculpture garden near where our Colorado family lives is one of our favorite places to visit anywhere. But these you show are I think even more wonderful than my favorites there. Because of the color ...most of the ones in Loveland are bronze. Oh it would be so hard to pick a favorite, just as it is in Loveland. I think Big Sister maybe ... or the ladies on thepark bench (I kind of wanted to sit down and join them in a chat)...also the placement of the painter, with that shadow showing made me gasp in awe. I loved them all, thanks for the tour. I’m going to read more about this remarkable artist.

I liked number 6. All of them are incredible. What a fun walking tour. I bet you really enjoyed. It would be so much fun to see that in person. Thank you for sharing.

Okay #3 is my favorite, but really it was tough to pick just one. What I found so wonderful is how real to life they all appear, and especially in #3 if one was walking from a distance you must think they are real people in action. I'd just love to see this walk up close and personal thanks for sharing it with us.
