Out and About Houston: Downtown Market Square

Just a few of the art sculptures in a revitalized section of downtown Houston.  I was visiting an art market where a friend was displaying her work.  Did a little networking for the next time the market opens so I can be an artist there too. 


Posing with Floyd Newsum's Planters and Stems which is a biographical story of downtown Houston.  Mr. Newsum is an art professor at the University of Houston. 




Patrick Renner's "Trumpet Flower" is attached to one of the downtown buildings.  Below is the view looking upwards.  More of Renner's Funnel Tunnel sculptures can be viewed if you do an image search using "patrick renner funnel tunnel".  His work is very similar to patchwork, in my opinion.  He focuses on reclaiming abandoned materials; in the case of this sculpture about 1250 sq ft of reclaimed wood slats were available for the public to paint for the sculpture.  How cool is that?

Next adventure?   Art Markets fill November weekends!

Have a Creative Day, Y'All!
