Public art is encompasses any form of art you see in a public place, large or small, statues, murals, graffiti, gardens, parks, etc. The art should be visible from streets, sidewalks or outdoor public places.

I kind of like that flamingo. He’s much more interesting than the pink plastic sort.

It’s in the middle of an intersection in a small town. It’s real hard to not get wires in it. Maybe if I was sitting on top of a truck to get higher I’d get a better photo LOL

I had to smile at the Oregonian deliverer. The dancers have more energy than I do right now, but I think I could dance with the flamingo. 😀 great start today!

I did it last night. How are you holding up in the heat. Portland is supposed to get to 113 by 5:00 pm. That’s unheard of! Hope you’re okay, my friend!!!

I’m fine. Just staying inside, obviously. So are the girls (pugs). Good thing they are fairly good at being liter trained. Pugs are not good in heat. Talk to you tomorrow 😀 😀

The artist of the statue of the children is also very popular in California. A great X in your photo. Came here for FOTD but the X distracted me:) Oh well, see you next week then! Have fun with the camera this weekend:) Jeshie

These are some really nice examples of public art. The dancing children statue is lovely and so is the mural. I often feel like little towns in Oregon are a lot like little towns in Tasmania.
