We discovered huge art treasures today!

The first 3 photos are of a large sculpture in the "Rising Masculinity" group on the art farm.

An invitation that I was so glad that we accepted.
This is the art farm of Dylan Lewis and as you will see here, the man is a master sculptor.
Dylan converted an unused flat piece of farmland into an artists paradise.
We only had 2 hours to spare, but this beautiful place needs many more hours to appreciate all the works placed into designated groups across the farm.
Join us on our walk!

Finally my favorite is also in the "Wild Symbols" group. Beautiful isn't it?

Just to tell you that I took a heap of photos during the 2 hours that we spent here and I only selected a few to show you. I have no urge to place 20 or 50 photos here and will rather place more photos in separate posts to titillate your senses.

Now many are going to ask me for more information about this place and the artist's great history. You will also want to see how all of this came about.
So what you do is that you visit his website to read some amazing stories!

hello i love them
What a good idea, I was impressed by the muscular man with the mountains in the background, very well coupled.
The male cabrio is also interesting with its horns and figure of man.
but the one I like the most is the deer jumping free
I would love to see it and I believe you with saying that two hours are not enough
Happy day

Thank you and so glad that you enjoyed the post my friend.
This artist was seriously blessed with great talents.
I also love the fluid movement of the Leopard hunting the buck.
We will be going back there to see more one of these days.
Blessings!

Thank you for the support.

I not only love his art and style but how they are spread around the farm, that must have been such a cool experience

You have to read this guy's story JJ.
This place evolved over the years and as the guy developed new artworks he placed them in designated groups all over the place.
Of course with nature as the base it is a wonderland.
I so wish that we could take you guys there for a picnic.
Blessings!

I did read the about part of his website very interesting

And even if I cant visit there in person I can virtually through your post :)

Well, the answer is simple as far as I am concerned JJ.
I will continue to tickle your photography sub conscious with luring pictures until you become absolutely desperate to get a ticket to come and visit us hahaha.
Blessings.

Well I look forward to your posts and being lured LOL

Hahaha, today I will show you some strawberry farm art.
Unexpected art my friend.
Blessings!

I just saw that post what a cool place and I loved that art ;)

Thank you and glad that you liked it JJ.
Blessings!

Wow! Your favourite is my favourite too! :)

Hi stranger, good to see you and I suppose that you can say the same.
We are of the same blood that's why we both like the same thing hahaha
Blessings!

Love the bent over sculpture

Thank you my friend.
Blessings!

the "Wild Symbols" group is my favorite too! The statue is amazing. There is balance and grace!)

It was so amazing to visit this place my friend.
The artist placed the full story of mankind's primitive origins to the taming of development into mankind's current condition.
Blessings and thank you!

Incredible sculptures and how wonderful that he has used an entire farm to display them! I will be looking forward to seeing more of your photos!

Absolutely stunning. Thank you for taking us along with you!
I enjoyed the forbidden forms pieces specifically.
He is a very talented artist!

Thank you and glad that came along with us my friend.
Each group has many sculptures, but I did not have the time to get to all of them.
The plan is now to go back there and to do each group individually.
There's 11 groups and I want to do 3 or four groups at a time.
Then of course there are also fabulous nature shots and sculptures of cats and birds. A veritable photographers paradise.
Oh! And of course a painting gallery.
Blessings!

Now that's what to do with a huge tract of land! That's incredible! It amazes me the work's of art that people can build when they put their minds to it. Absolutely stunning.

So right my friend and he is indeed a man of many of many talents.
Most people would try to farm an empty tract of land, but this guy draws hundreds of tourists to visit the place.
Blessings!

Oh that is a marvelous art find! To find such beautiful sculptures of such magnitude, enhanced by the beautiful natural setting!
Thanks so much for sharing this - beautiful to see - Dylan Lewis is truly a master sculpture!

Thank you my friend.
We will certainly be going back there, as the place is so peaceful and the nature is astounding. I did not have the time to get to everything, but was lucky enough to get a heap of shots to post in the next while.
Blessings!
