8th Annual Yew Dell Outdoor Sculpture Show

August 30 from 5 to 8 p.m. was the opening for the

8th Annual Yew Dell Outdoor Sculpture show.

There were 45 pieces by 15 artist...

...and I'm happy to report that the quality is

WAY UP from the previous year.

There's not a single bad piece in the show -

definitely worth checking out!

The show runs from today until October 25.

 David Caudill was the 'featured artist' this year.

 Mike McCarthy sold this sculpture at the opening.  It was also 1 of 4 'Top Picks' by the Jury. 

 Karen Terhune sold a sculpture at the opening; I don't know if it was this Texas Limestone piece "Grace #57"...

 ....or "Affectionately Your".  (Maybe she'll sell both before it's over...)

 I was happy to see a strong body of work from Owensboro native Bill Kolok.

 John McCarthy really jumped scale with "Botanical".  His 3 new sculptures were all a pleasant surprise.

 I loved Caren Cunningham's "Super Stupa".  No doubt that it will find an appreciative home.

"Offering" by David Waltz was also one of my favorites.  (I'm not sure which was the 4th sale on opening night...and it might have been this piece?).

Someone tried out my "Bubble Bench" at the opening.
