Speaking of bird related things, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

The Einstein Project: Spurs the Turtle

Here is a head on look at Spurs. Look at the detail on his face and legs ... impressive. Spurs was created by Lynda Secor and sponsored by Bank Mutual. Thanks to all involved for the effort.

The Einstein Project: Spurs the Turtle

Another of the turtles from the Einstein Project. Based on his camouflage I walked right by this one without noticing it at first.

The Einstein Project: Patches the Turtle

This is the other side of Patches ... what can I say, he was pretty slow. This piece of art was produced by Sara Gerondale and sponsored by Chestnut Gallery and Gifts. Once again, thanks to you both.

The Einstein Project: Patches the Turtle

This is the first picture you'll see of Patches ... another of the turtles produced by the Einstein Project. I'll tell you more about this turtle tomorrow, but for now I'll tell you why I liked this one. It's a bit nostalgic, but it reminds me of the kind of quilts my favorite aunt and my grandmother used to make

The Einstein Project: Turtle Island

Another of the brilliant turtles around town from the Einstein Project.

According to the Einstein Project site the painting symbolizes the Oneida creation story. Both of the painters are creators themselves ... one a children's book author and illustrator and the other barely more than a child at age 13. Thank you both for your work.

This one was painted by Stephanie Stevens and Jessica House and sponsored by the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin. They are the biggest local indian tribe and run the casinos in town and by the airport.

Babble

Another of the fine sculptures near the Neville Public Musem. This one is Babble by Ned Cain, made from Mild Steel in 2004. I'm not sure what Mild Steel is but I like it.

The Einstein Project: Star Fly

Another piece of art from the Einstein Project ... and clearly not my best photo. This piece was done by Shannon Frantz and sponsored by Ameriprise Auto and Home Insurance. My thanks to all involved.

The Einstein Project: Green Thumb

Another piece of art from the Einstein Project. This piece was created by Samantha Van Ess and sponsored by Community First Credit Union. Green Thumb can be found on the walking path near the river between Dousman and Walnut along the west side of the Fox River.
