MONET WAS FOUND AT THE McKEE BOTANICAL GARDENS IN VERO BEACH, FLORIDA - PART 4

A continuation of old posts, photos taken in 2014. The figure below represents artist Claude Monet. You can go here to find out more information about the man himself. In any of these posts, timing is outdated. They are better seen with our own eyes of course, but it will give you an idea of how they were. To continue...

Here is another sculpture from the McKee's Botanical Garden in January. This one is entitled "Monet, Our Visiting Artist". I learned since I first starting sharing these sculptures, that one of these statues can take up to a year to complete.  I can well believe it as the detailing is beyond impressive.













In the photo below you can see this couple on the bench that I shared before here.


If you want to see sculptures already shared and other parts of the garden, you can click on the label below this post that says "McKee's Botanical Garden_Vero Beach_Florida.

Thanks for looking and I hope you have a great day.
