Folk Art Heaven


Quite a while ago, I read about the folk art sculptures of Patrick Amiot in nearby Sebastopal, CA. Finally - I am close enough to see them!


Although they are spread all over town, there are a lot on Florence Ave, where the artist lives. I'm pretty sure this is his house!


His theme is "From landfill to landmark."


It's amazing how he can use discarded items to create a work of art.


Here's one for us RVers.


This was my favorite one - Noah's Ark, which was in front of a church.


Love the detail on Noah!


And the animals.


Back at Patrick's gallery, there is the perfect "new" rig for the Good Luck Duck. Just needs a little work....
