Welcome to "O" day in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. My theme: "From Florida to Vermont With Stops In Between".
Today, let's sample some outdoor art from various parts of the country, starting in New York and ending in South Carolina.
Here's a mural painted on the back of a New York village's movie theater.
This mural, located in Endicott, New York, is called "Love Like Lisa". It pays tribute to a woman, Lisa Iannone, who died at the age of 40 from a chronic condition she had lived with for many years.
Let's start moving south, progressing to New York's Hudson Valley.
How about a statue at the CIA - no, not that CIA, but the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York? This culinary school has trained many great chefs, and the campus has some interesting culinary art on its campus.
Take, for example, this fish. You may not want to eat it, though.
It's made out of dining utensils.
Now we are in Brooklyn, in New York City, with an outdoor store window painting in downtown Brooklyn (2018).
New York Aquarium in Coney Island (Brooklyn).
Virginia Museum of Fine Art, Richmond, VA. This sculpture is called Chloe. The artist is Jaume Plensa, from Spain.
Carousel at Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens, West Columbia, South Carolina.
Finally, we have arrived at our destination, Florida. This mosaic is at the Florida Botanical Gardens in Largo, Florida.
Tomorrow - Florida treats for "P" day.
...you found some fabulous sights along the way.

DeleteIBM had a big facility in Endicott, didn't they?
ReplyDeleteYes, they did, and some of my in laws worked there. My brother in law's entire family, in fact. Some of it is still being used (by other companies); other of the buildings are vacant and crumbling, sadly.
DeleteThere's so much great art out there, if you just look.
ReplyDeletePineapples! Happy spring break to you!
