I am very excited about my latest (painted) sculpture installation. This Musical Arch is in the new Downing Children's Garden at Botanica-The Wichita Gardens. The Children's Garden has an "Over The Rainbow" - "Oz" type theme. The area I was commissioned to create this arch for is the The Muscial Maze section. I've done paintings of jazz instruments in the past, and instead of working with paint and cut paper, here I'm working with paint and cut steel. The official opening of The Children's Garden is this weekend. I am very proud to be part of this addition to our community. Thanks to Marsha Scurfield for these wonderful photos.
Congratulations Charles! Your "Musical Rainbow" arch is the perfect entry into "Grandaddy's Musical Maze." I predict that Botanica's Downing Children's Garden is going to become a destination for families from all over Kansas and surrounding states. Interactive and filled with art, what child or adult wouldn't be charmed by its imagination and playfulness? Barry and Paula Downing and all the many other donors must be thrilled to see their generosity so magnificently realized, showcasing the talents of our local artists, architect, contractor and horticulturalists.
