river rock art

This sculpture of iron and river rock is one of many found on Grand Avenue at Jean Street.  Richard Botto, who owns this professional building, began making these rock sculptures for his own pleasure.  Once he began displaying them, he found a buying public to enjoy them.

    Oh, I like this a lot! It's nice that he has found a way to make a few bucks doing something he enjoys!

    Jean Street is a nice neighborhood - and many people don't know about it.
    (Maybe that's one reason it's nice!)

    This scene looks almost British. Not sure about the sculpture. I think it needs a different setting.

    Looks like something little kids would try to climb.

    Stability and instability coexist.
    Attractive expression. . .

    Happy weekend.
