About a month ago, I wrote a post regarding a local art show that we held in the John Day area. Paintings, sculptures, photography, books were among the displays of talent. Sometimes life presents opportunities where you discover artists and artistic work that know no boundaries. One such case was a recent discovery made at the Orenco Woods Nature Park in Hillsboro, Oregon. In a corner of the park was a small grove of trees and upon closer inspection, distinct forms appeared in a whimsical style of odd faces. They were sculptures made from saplings of trees and molded in a facial form that could resemble an ET alien! But that is only through personal perspective. I'm sure that was not the artist's intent but rather a place for visitors to roam through the structures and check out the park through the sculpture formation.
This placard explains more about the artist and his work.........
Patrick Dougherty has created many forms of stick work across the United States. To view some of his art and find out more about him, his website is....

I took a few photos of his wooden creations to share them with you. You just never know what you will find in a park....
Until we meet again at The Turn-Up Patch on Monday,
July 2nd. God bless all your comings and goings during the next few weeks.
