My World - Riverbanks art

Among the flowers at the Walled garden at the Riverbanks Botanical Gardens are several works of art. In the above view are a statue of otters and several glass flowers (at the left of the otters). In front of the Visitor Center are some blue glass buds (last image).

My World Tuesday - Wall art

Before the Carroll Creek Bridge project, the artist William Cochran had painted some other murals on buildings in downtown Frederick. His work is NOT your average graffiti. His technique is "trompe l'oeil". The first time Marianne and I saw the above picture we were eating in a restaurant across the street. She said "that man is just staring out the window and not moving!" When we left the restaurant, we finally realized it was a painting and sometime later learned about Mr. Cochran. Below are details from this painting, the adjacent window and another painted window a few blocks away. The last picture shows his canvas for that painting.
