Sunday Selections # 290

Welcome back to Sunday Selections!

This once-a- week-meme was originally begun by Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, as a way to showcase some of the many photos we all take, but don't get around to showing on our blogs.

The rules are very simple:-

1. post photos of your choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title

2. link back to me, River, somewhere in your post

3. leave me a comment so that I know you've joined in and can come over and see what you've posted.

4. hop on over to Elephant’s Child to see more of her wonderful photos.

 

I usually go with a theme for my Sunday Selections and this week I'm featuring a few things seen in town recently. 

The event was SALA, South Australian Local Artists, which goes for several days (weeks?) and around town there are exhibitions of local artists work to be seen. I photographed the following exhibits in Victoria Square.

I'd love to have this setting in my backyard. If I had a back yard.

this one too.

I love stuff like this!

here's that first one again.

this colourful pig,

is called a War Boar 

and is covered in whimsical flowers and faces,

and inspirational messages.

a little cross eyed, but he seems happy.

A Bus Full of Art, so of course I went in for a look-see.

the seats have been retained along one side, to hold paintings from various artists. The name of each artist is on each seat.

on the other side, seats have been removed to allow larger paintings to be hung. I asked and was granted, permission to photograph everything.

this was/is my favourite. If I'd had enough money I would have carried it home to hang in my lounge room. The angle doesn't do it justice, I should have stood directly facing it.

All of the pieces shown here were for sale at quite high, but fair, prices.
