Sunday was a glorious day in Houston. I had the weekend off so after church and brunch, Gene and I played tourist in our own city.
We went to Midtown which is southwest of the downtown area. It's been reworked into a hub for loft living, dining and shopping. I have a show there in mid November.
Here are a few funky sculptures outside a lawyer's office. Fun!
I have wanted to visit the Texas Art Asylum for a long time. They currently have a 2 day show about death. One of my artist friends has a piece in the show.
The outside of the building features graffiti type paintings.

The downtown area around the GR Brown Convention Center (where the Quilt Festival is held yearly) has a lovely open park area called Discovery Green. This sculpture by Jean Dubuffet graces one of the sidewalks. Houston has a lot of art by famous artists. On another block is a black sculpture by Louise Nevelson.
The coleus is gorgeous!
These 36' concrete Beatles sculptures were crafted by the artist David Adickes. He has a number of very notable sculptures in Houston and Huntsville. All of his work is huge!

My friend's piece is a steampunk skull. Very cool.
In the lobby of Texas Art Asylum are these 2 cat heads. Gene and I had to poke our heads inside for a photo! He's such a good sport. He loves adventures, exploring and going to new places.
Squinting into the sun!
Just a wonderful day!
Oh what fun! Loved it! I can’t imagine working in such a huge medium (the Beatles). What a great name for a gallery, Asylum!
