The golden calf -- no, it's a pig!

This piece of art graced the shelf at Laguna Gloria.

That sun is bright!

This little guy had on lots of covering -- I guess he is sensitive to all that sun!

Car Talking

This old car is a piece of art that broadcasts conversations from its interior.

Circle and lines

This art piece combines a rustic feel with a modern slant.

Tubular, man!

This curvy artwork makes for a nice visual display at the Laguna Gloria art space.

Have a seat!

These weirdly shaped seats were placed along the pathway at the Laguna Gloria Art Museum and Linda decided to try one out.

Fancy oars

These oars were for sale in the gift shop at the newly rehabbed Laguna Gloria Museum on Lake Austin. They are really colorful and the nicest-looking oars I've even seen.

Big leap for a sculpture

I think that we have posed a photo of this large Giacometti-like sculpture before, but this shot I took kind of makes it look like he is leaping. Well, it did to me, anyway.

Tree Trunk

On the grounds of Laguna Gloria is what appears at first glance to be a dead and hollowed out tree trunk. It is actually an iron sculpture (entitle iron tree trunk) by the famous artist Ai Weiwei.

Hey, big guy!

I love this Giacometti imitation in front of the museum at Laguna Gloria. Aluminum foil and pie pans. It looks like he is exclaiming how happy he is to be there.

Straight-on beauty

We took a hike around the grounds at Laguna Gloria the other day and snapped photos of some of the outdoor sculpture. I love the straight lines and bright colors on this piece.

Looking Up

This giant silver man sculpture at Laguna Gloria is still dwarfed by a large palm tree.

Waves

These giant waves cascade toward the lagoon and lake at Laguna Gloria on Lake Austin. The sculpture is done of salvaged fishing rope from lobster men that is dyed and arranged. Interestingly we saw work by this sculptor at Madison Square Park in the last year or so.

Please Touch

Charles Long's Pet Sounds sculptures at Laguna Gloria make sounds when you touch them which you are encouraged to do.

Colors Above

This may look like an unusual carport but it's a sculpture on the grounds of Laguna Gloria. It is called "Raised Laguna Discussion Platform" and is the work of British sculptor Liam Gillick.

Where's the Key?

This sculpture by Jim Lambie on the grounds of Laguna Gloria (the west Austin outpost of the museum now known as The Contemporary) is called "Secret Affair (Gold)." There's a bit of irony here, I think.
