Thursday’s Special: Pick A Word – December 2022…

The five words to choose from are: tribute, wading, townscape, harbor and bokeh. I’m choosing to do each one.

TRIBUTE. memorial to the search and rescue dogs of 9/11 in West Orange, NJ facing NYC.

WADING.

TOWNSCAPE… NYC looking across the East River from Brooklyn.

HARBOR – Edgartown harbor on Martha’s Vineyard looking towards the island of Chappaquiddick. The ferries are On Time I and On Time II.

BOKEH.. the visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image.

Public art is which encompasses any form of art you see in a public place, large or small, statues, murals, graffiti, gardens, Christmas lights, even buildings or bridges. The art should be visible from streets, sidewalks or outdoor public places. I chose to post photos from the list below.

Graffiti
Statues and Sculptures
Murals
Transportation
Car Shows
Artistic Construction (Bridge, benches and buildings)
Wall Art

Bridges…George Washington Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge

Statues…Upper left, the Field Gallery (Martha’s Vineyard) – Upper right, Marquis De Lafayette, Colonel Alexander Hamilton, General George Washington (Morristown, NJ) Lower left, Atlas (Rockefeller Center, NYC) – Lower right, Martha’s Vineyard.

Friendly Friday Photo Challenge – Art Unexpected…

Posted on March 8, 2020 by mvobsession | Comments Off

Clockwise from upper right: tree sculpture in PA – easels in windows – statues and metal cows at the Field Gallery on Martha’s Vineyard – sidewalk art – mural in NJ – piano in Greenwich Village, NYC.

My daughter and I are deeply into our genealogy and have been visiting cemeteries where our ancestor are buried. I’ve always found cemeteries to be interesting places, especially the older ones where grave stones and markers are indeed works of art. We have several ancestors buried in Mt Pleasant Cemetery in Newark, New Jersey, which is Newark’s oldest cemetery and in my opinion the most beautiful and interesting one. The cemetery has a special section for the firemen of Newark and that is where my great, great grandfather is buried. The unexpected art connection to me are the fire hydrants that surround this section.

My entry for lion has to be Fortitude and Patience, the lions that stand guard at the New York Public Library’s main branch since its official dedication in 1911..
