Treasures of the Courtyard

 

Our courtyard has become more of a sculpture dump than a sculpture garden.

 

Low-fire terracotta figures are being put out in the weather.

 

Several have already begun to crumble and disintegrate.

 

It's a  shame.

 

Most of the pieces should just be thrown in the dumpster.

 

Except for this charming portrait of Dana by Jim Hajicek.

 

It's kind of remarkable, actually --- to  get such  likeness in such a small piece.

 

And to capture the model's poetic spirit.

 

I hope someone sees this picture and offers to buy (and save) it.
