I discovered a new sculpture in Scottsdale located in front of the new Scottsdale Museum of the West. It's called "Diamond Bloom" by Curtis Pittman.
The description for the piece says:
"Delicately emerging from the landscape Diamond Bloom serves as an icon marking the southern edge of Scottsdale's arts district. Reminiscent of a cactus flower, the sculpture's radiant changing qualities of light shadow and color contribute to its dynamic botanical form."
I'm not sure it reminds me of a cactus flower but, I do like it's form.
It's very well suited to its surroundings!
ReplyDeleteIt's really great. Modern but not too imposing.

It's fantastic Sharon but when I saw the first image I thought more eucalyptus leaf than cactus, what do you think ?
ReplyDeleteI like it! Kind of flowery and kind of spiny. I can see the resemblance!
ReplyDeleteI too like it and I can see the resembling to opening of a bloom. But what's the significance of the "diamond" portion of the title?
ReplyDeleteLooks more like the cactus than the flower, with all those sharp points. It is graceful looking though.
ReplyDeleteI don't see cactus flower either but I do like it!
ReplyDeleteNow that I've seen a few cacti, I can actually imagine it. It's surprisingly (for me) nice!
ReplyDeleteI like it too. Your top photo is super nice.
ReplyDeleteIt is visually pleasing- very good for photography!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful site for an impaling!
ReplyDeleteI like it too. So many different angles to look at it from.
ReplyDeleteYou know more about cactus flowers than I do, but it mainly reminds me of large curving pieces of metal.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool, but my first association was with a cactus' sharp spines.
ReplyDeleteIntesting. It's almost futuristic looking.
ReplyDeleteInteresting sculpture, I like your first shot too !
ReplyDeleteI am glad this is being so well received and really appreciate the comments. Thank you Sharon!
