All the photos you see are pics of his life size sculptures. They are glorious. I have stood in several of those creations. The Boating Party is a wonder, he has included what Renoir would have put into the painting if he had the space.
I love it there. Plan to visit sometime the whole place is fantastic. Search around the web sight for more.
Roseann, Thank you for the information above. I went to the site and enjoyed the tour. I then went to Flickr and searched for "Grounds for Sculpture" to see photos taken by others. Wow, what great things are there. I really need to make my way there one of these days soon. Thanks again!

'He' is very lifelike!
Fully focused! He is lucky not to be concerned with the heat.
In Miami the table would be filled with Cubans playing something or other...It's a great sculpture.
Maybe he is waiting for some better cards.
... this way you always have a winning hand.
I like this kind of life like sculpture. It's just fun to see.
I like the top composition, Sharon.
I really like these kind of sculptures and they are something that everyone can relate to!

Lovely sculpture, I would like to play with him :)
We have a couple of his forms in our county......have a great weekend! Peace, Mary Helen
First I thought he was playing the piano instead of the card. Nice pictures.

He's cheating! Wonder where his opponent was.
Those Johnson people sure get around, don't they? They are the sculptural equivalents of Chihuly's.
That's fun!
Love it. Were you really fooled?
Thanks, Sharon.
He has a perfect spot for his game.
What a great spot to be sitting for evermore Sharon, I love these type of sculptures we have a few around Perth also.
