I mentioned several years ago that my good friend Julie serves on the Paradise Valley Town Council. On Thursday evening I attended the swearing-in ceremony for newly elected or in Julie's case, reelected to serve. The town's council chamber was covered with paintings by a local artist named Barbara Lacey. They were all so colorfully painted with such bright colors. This one is called "Canyon Sunset".
Next to the painting was this bronze sculpture of Barry Goldwater. That seems appropriate since Senator Goldwater lived in Paradise Valley all of his life. This sculpture is by Joe Beeler.
I remember Goldwater's department store.
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories of that department store.
DeleteThe colors in the "Canyon Sunset" painting are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat painting is wonderful, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lord, Barry Goldwater! (I'm rolling my eyes.)
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy that artwork. Thank you! It's good to participate! Thank you aloha!

I like the artwork, it's beautiful. I remember Goldwater when he was running for president and got beat.
ReplyDeleteVery animated sculpture
ReplyDeleteVery bright artwork, I like the sculptures too.
ReplyDeleteI really like the painting and it's colours.
ReplyDeleteNice mix of a brightly colored painting and the small sculptures. Hard avoiding the bright light on paintings, isn't it? I always try navigating to a spot that minimizes the light, but often that wrecks the composition.
