Sculpture and art exhibitions featuring sculpture by Alan Ross 2009

The Affordable Garden Art Exhibition 2009. Set in the gardens of Showborough House, Twyning Gloucestershire, an exhibition of affordable garden sculpture, hosted by Andrew Roache. Directions are available on his website  http://www.showborough.com/ very handy for the M5/M50 junction

Well worth a visit set in landscaped gardens with an informmal sculpture trail round a series of themed gardens. The works on display range in size from a few inches to much larger pieces covering a variety of themes. Here are two of my personal favourites.  I particularly liked the reclining figure. I was surprised at my choice in these two as I dont usually like moulded resin sculptures.

I have four pieces of sculpture in the exhibition including the pieces below.

A nice feture of Andrew's exhibition is that the artists are invited along for a previsit to book locations for the individual sculptures, so I was able to design a mount for the Stickleback to suit the grassy spot.

Another garden scupture I have featured is 'A Quiet Moment' this lady had a leisurely week wondering around the garden finding herself a comfy seat.

Sculptures in the exhibition are for sale, refreshments are available.
