Yard Art or Yard clutter?

Definitely Yard Art !!! All of it! And it's yard art of the VERY best kind since there is a story to go with all of it. I LOVE IT! May others please join with in pictures of their yard art. I did a little yard arting this morning. We collected a number of cypress knees when on vacation to Florda many, many years ago. We made a glass topped coffee table and lamps from them which have long been dismantled, but I kept them. Just a few minutes ago I lined them up on the top of the lattice frame that borders the deck. Looks kind of silly, but oh well; nobody will ever up there anyway ... LOL ... but I finally did something with them after all these years and they do hold happy memories. So what's your bit to offer in the yard art category?

Buying "art" and buying "Art"

Thanks Rosie. That painting is a pleasure for me on so many levels - the crazy coloring, the "art" labeling, the primitiveness... I am way too constrained to create that freely. And then there is the personal - knowing all DH was going through at the time and his very surprising decision to try painting for respite. It inspires me. For the OP, reflect on what is appealing to you about those museum pieces you like. Crystalize that as best you can. Any gallery would be happy to help you discover works you love, for a price. If that price is prohibitive, try 'lesser' galleries, student art shows, resale shops, art fairs - just look and trust yourself to respond. Let yourself make a mistake or two, it's the only way to learn what you really love. And yes, framing can make all the difference.

I wonder if there is a way to put it on a post so that it would turn in the wind like a giant pinwheel. That is really cool! TFS!

LOVE it. And to think when my dad died 2 years ago we threw about 200+ bikes wheels away!!!!!!! He repaired bikes and had quite a stash. I could never think of anything cool to do with them so off they went! If only I would have known about GJ back then!!!! I WILL be in search of a wheel as I really like it and being able to have it spin in the wind would be awesome. And just think of how cool it would look with several differnt sizes clustered together!

They flowers are wonderful and there are a lot of other things at that site I noticed. Someone posted a garden with bike wheel art in it a couple weeks ago.
Yet another thing to collect!
