I wanted to share this "garden art" with you Smiling

It was a gift from my mother which makes it even more special since she is no longer on this earth.

It's several years old and my sister-in-law that is so good with all things art painted it for me. Because of my old camera, it's not showing the colors well as the bunny has a pink nose and the little boy has pink cheeks. It's very realistic looking and always makes me smile when I look at it.

I put it in the driveway for the photo.

Jo Ann, seeing the photos of your garden art again reminds me that you've also been a source of inspiration for me! I started about five years ago collecting frogs for the gardens but your unique pieces made me think I could be a little more creative and try to make some of my own. Smiling I tip my hat to you.

I will, I will! I'm sure I must have some but will have to look for them since it's been a couple of years since I took any. I've got plenty of art in the garden but the only pieces I've really taken photos are of those I've made. *Blush*

I'm off to look for photos in my files since I'm currently "disabled" with this blasted ankle. Grumbling
