Windy Metal Garden

Windy Metal Garden

Black Metal Rules "Windy Metal Garden," Hartford I can't pretend that I'm a big fan of black metal, per se, but I've always had a soft spot for its absurd over-the-top nihilism and guttural lyrics. And while the Windy Metal Garden has nothing in the world to do with black metal - or metal music of any kind, I can't … [Read more...]

I-Park, I-Walk, I-Freeze My-Butt-Off East Haddam (Google Maps location) November 24, 2013 For friends and long-time readers, it will come as no surprise to read that I-Love I-Park.

452. Lincoln Financial Sculpture Walk

Honestly, Abe, Take a Shower East Hartford & Hartford (Google Maps location) May 28, 2019 I don't want to make this more confusing than necessary.

Huntington State Park Bears!

... And Wolves Too Anna Hyatt Huntington Sculptures Redding For the uninitiated, I have been a big Stephen Colbert fan for many, many years. (I’ll admit, I no longer watch him now that he’s on CBS, but I was a devotee of his Comedy Central show.) He had a lot of recurring jokes, one of which centered around bears. … [Read more...]

328. Alexey von Schlippe Art Gallery

What's the (Avery) Point? Groton (Google Maps location) June 14, 2016 The Gallery was closed "for good" in 2016 but is now open again, so the below may be confusing. However, I don't feel like rewriting it. Here I am, skimming through my mail in May of 2018. "Oh! A new issue of Connecticut Woodlands!" I say, … [Read more...]

291. Studio 80 + Sculpture Grounds

Frenetic and Kinetic Old Lyme (Google Maps location) April 16, 2015 We are nothing if not intrepid. Having visited the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts Gallery next door in early March, we attempted to walk the grounds here. Unfortunately, the two feet of snow on the ground made that rather difficult. … [Read more...]

Art Tunnel

The Mural of the Story Art Tunnel Farmington River Trail, Farmington Can you believe that I’ve never used that pun for a title before? I can’t. Can you believe that I’m far more interested in the two trails in the woods on either side of this tunnel than the Farmington River Trail that this tunnel is for? I … [Read more...]

Paper Airplane #2

Air Putnam Paper Airplane #2, by Jean-Paul Jacquet Putnam, Ct It isn’t often that I dedicate a full page to a “giant goofy thing.” If you are somehow not aware, I have a collection of giant goofy things on this here website.

Graceful Grace Farms New Canaan This is the first post I'm writing in 2016. Perhaps it will grant me the grace and peace I need to continue forward in a kind and forgiving manner.

Lions and Tigers and Sharp Metal Edges, Oh My! Kent (Google Maps location) September 15, 2012 Having been to 240 museums so far in Connecticut, it stands to reason that I've met some really interesting and talented people. I can add sculptor Denis Curtiss to that growing – but distinctive! – list. I can’t … [Read more...]
