Art Kicks Ass.

Today I realized that I hadn't had the time to post pictures of the two pieces Hubby and I bought at the City's Arts Festival. After working 40 hours of overtime in less than four days, I deserved a treat. The one above the mantle is an Angela Alvarez. The piece is created on steel using paint and other chemicals that cause reactions, creating amazing patterns and colors. It's supercool. Angela also does beautiful glassware, and I plan to get one of those pieces next year.


The other piece is an Anthony Hansen wall sculpture. He creates three-dimensional hearts fromused metal and other materials. They're beautiful and all have a great message/name. Ours is "Simply Be." We're hoping to get a larger piece of his in the future. Near future I hope. Not that we have wallspace. But it's never bad to collect beautiful, original art.


This is the greatest benefit to working at the City. I've met these artists a number of times over the last three years, and feel like I've gotten to know them. I've gotten three years to make sure I loved the pieces and window shop. Yay Art!

Oh, and Ted is still outrageously cute.
