Hey all you lovers out there and those who are swimming in singledom How did your Valentines Day pan out? Did it involve flowers, chocolates, romance.. maybe a chick flick or were you anti V Day this year? Mine was just perfect...We started celebrating a little early..with handmade chocolates from Chocofin..I had a wonderful dinner made for me of poached wild Salmon..a red potato hash that was to die for and salad...dessert was a fresh fruit tart... we exchanged gifts yesterday and I awoke to the most beautiful flowers this morning..a huge boquet of calla lillies and roses of almost a deep coral color..they are amazing. I will be posting some photos of the big day here soon but would love to hear about how you spent yours and if there are any traditions that you hold true to on VD. While you are chewing on that this weeks artist spotlight showcases the wonderful and talented Robert Indiana whos work really fits in perfect with the theme this month, I have always loved him and discovered him years ago..
He loved everyday symbols along roadside America that he saw as a child growing up in Indianapolis. Examples like “Route 66”, “EAT” at roadside diners, gas station signs, etc. inspired him in his later art work.
He created geometric art like the examples you see here.
Robert Clark adopted the name of his native state and became known as Robert Indiana. His art work gave new meaning to familiar everyday words such as eat, love, and hope.
We are fortunate to have one of his sculptures at The Scottsdale Civic Center Gardens. Thanks to Scottsdale Public Art
Okay I really really want these!
Pop Art At Its Finest I was sooooo delighted to see Google adapting the sculpture he first debuted in 1970 in New York City on V Day!!
