Keeping the Ball Rolling, a photo from Colorado, West

Photographer's Note

Our next destination was Benson Sculpture Garden. According to their website, "Benson Sculpture Garden has provided a beautiful and unique outdoor setting for showcasing sculpture since 1985. It is here that the Loveland High Plains Arts Council hosts its renowned Sculpture in the Park event each summer. Currently, there are 178 pieces of sculpture on permanent display by world-renowned artists worth over $5 million. This 10-acre park includes handicap accessible sidewalks, a public restroom and several picnic areas." (https://www.sculptureinthepark.org/about-benson)

These are two views of the sculpture Keeping the Ball Rolling by Jane DeDecker (1990). It appears that this piece is not unique because an internet search revealed that a copy of this 90 X 36 X 36 in. (228.6 X 91.44 X 91.44 cm) sculpture can be had for $ 33,750. Another $ 1,199 can bring it to one's doorstep in the US.

Hello Murat,
A really nice sculpture of this child balancing on the ball. The surroundings with the green trees and brick building provided a nice backdrop, and also the other sculptures look attractive.

Main post, left side picture is well made, Murat, has good contrast to the red brick edifice and green branches.
Right side post has a notable backlight reduction halo, I'd refrain posting this or put as another WS.
Regards,
Ike

Hello Murat,
If I would buy anything for $ 33,750 it would be reasonable to expect free delivery. But I wouldn't have any space for this anyway. The statues in the WS are more amusing than really beautiful.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Murat,
Very nice series of statues. The boy is captured in such a very dynamic moment yet frozen in time.
I like also how you have fit the boy in between the other two statues in the distance like a piece of a puzzle,
Very well done,
M
