I know some of you are still waiting for spring and I don't mean to rub it in, but yesterday was a gorgeous spring day here. It was so nice out--I had to take a walk. I strolled around the Arts Center and was inspired to take some pictures with my iPhone. I love the camera on my iPhone! I photographed some of the mosaic sculptures by renowned artist Niki de Saint Phalle. I have a wonderful book of her work from the Mingei International Museum, Niki de Saint Phalle Insider/Outsider World Inspired Art.
Update, April 2015: Another place to find photos of her work is on Artsy.

I have barely scratched the surface here. I could've posted more photos; I could've taken a lot more photos. The iPhone is an incredible, all-in-one phone that's invaluable in numerous ways. Most of the photos I now use for my blog are iPhone photos. In fact, I rarely use a regular camera anymore.

Congrats to Kelly, happy reading. The mosiacs are lovely. It looks like you had a colorful walk yesterday.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kelly!
ReplyDeleteThose are really neat sculptures. I followed the link, I had ver before heard of her but Niki de Saint Phalle did some very innovative work.
It was gorgeous here yesterday as well. I love the mosaics - outsider art is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kelly!
Wonderful photos Suko! Glad you got a chance to get out and take them :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful are those mosaics, so bright and cheerful, I especially adore the cat.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosiacs. I am also struck by just how green it is by you!! Not too much green grass here in Northeast Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful & interesting! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe're starting to have great spring weather here too. Finally! The mosaics are beautiful. My dad has done some mosaic work too which I consider a work of art.
ReplyDeleteSeemed like a perfect sunny day for pictures at the art museum. I do like the mosaics!
ReplyDeleteI love the mosaics! I particularly love the cat. It's very neat, and the details are amazing! Also, congratulations to your winner! I just got that book, so I am excited that she did too! :)
ReplyDeleteThe details in your photos are so clear. I can see why you love your iPhone.
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for spring... there's a rumor that it might be here on Sunday.
Wow! Beautiful mosaic sculptures! We have really hot weather here already - and it is so horrible :) I don't think we had spring, lol! Congrats to the winners :)
ReplyDeleteWow Suko, those mosaic sculptures are something! I agree, the iPhone camera is pretty amazing. Spring is trying to make its appearance around here too :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the book winner!
I like a lot, Niki de Saint Phalle works. I saw two of them in Washington DC next years ... and every year in a little town in France - Chateau-Chinon- just near where my parents are living. A small world !
