Artworks in Saint Petersburg

O.K. this is not much of a family blog item, but I think it has some nice photos of the art that I saw yesterday. I was coming back from "Paint your Heart Out" in Clearwater and was driving into an office complex as you approach the bridge to look for some fire department connections (don't ask, but if you must know it was for an example for some work we are doing over in Largo). The Raymond James offices are in there and as you drive in there is a large statue of an Indian on a horse holding a buffalo skull. On further examination they have a large number of statues in the open area around the office and parking garages that I stopped and took some photos of. Most but not all are Western theme and mostly native Americans done by a John Coleman. Here are a few.




This one and I think some of the others has some painting done on them.



If you look closely at this one, you can see a metal on his chest which is the one that Lewis and Clark took on their expedition to give to native American leaders. It is shown on the back of some of the commemorative nickles.

Wonderful! I just put in John Coleman and had to go to 2nd page but he, the artist, has a website. Didn't stay long but saw pictures of scuptures similar if not same as yours. Thanks for putting them up so quickly.
