The Westport Public Art Collections feature over 1,500 works.
Some are by artists like Picasso. Some are famous, like Muhammad Ali’s fist. Many are by local illustrators, and/or show local landmarks.
But not all are oils, watercolors and photographs.
WestPAC includes a number of outdoor sculptures. They’re at sites like Jesup Green, Grace Salmon Park — and Canal Park.
That one –“Seagull,” by Christopher Ray — was the subject of last week’s Photo Challenge. (Click here to see.)
According to Kitty Graves, one of several readers who correctly identified the Challenge — he created it for his mother’s garden. (She was the well known garden designer Eloise Ray. A park named in her honor on Riverside Avenue features a different (non-Christopher Ray) sculpture.
Others who knew where “Seagull” landed were Morley Boyd, Andrew Colabella, Lynn Untermeyer Miller, Claudia Sherwood Servidio, Sal Liccione, Maja Sholler and Jen Fridland.
Here’s a hint to today’s Photo Challenge: It’s outdoors.
You probably figured that out on your own. If you also figure out where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.
