lawn statues
Lawn statues are these picturesque and generally solid items that perform the function of adding a surprising dimensional element to a lawn. Placed correctly, in the right spot, a lawn statue can say much indeed. It can give a sense of historical time and place or it can merely be an item of striking originality and beauty on a lusciously green surface. They can be gloriously whimsical. Much depends on the surroundings and the quality of the product itself. Lawn statues may very well represent one’s tastes and values. They may also represent one’s pride of place and even of one’s neighborhood.
Lawn statues come in an amazing variety. We have all seen the gate keeping lawn jockeys, the garden gnomes, the glass balls once so popular in the United States. Or, ahem, the pink flamingos grazing on lawns in Omaha, Nebraska. There were all whimsical, beautifying attempts and, no matter how crude or out of place, they were literal attempts to add decor to the outdoors with a personal arranging sort.
Now we have such gorgeous alternatives made by real artists and artisans, that we can be as subtle or as dramatically colorful as we like. Many of the rules have changed, generally, as have many of the sources for the gathering of these cool products. Lawn statues do not have to be mass-produced any more, for example. There are many local outlets all over which offer the welded or sculpted beauty of statues rendered by true artists. Then there are the artists themselves, who travel to events featuring their work such as craft fairs and the like. They are a rich and talented resource for those interested in the possibilites in lawn statues.
