A new large mural going up in the city of Oakland Park! Driving around South Florida I always wonder why there are not more murals and outdoor sculpture. With our fabulous weather we are an outdoor society and the buildings, homes and public spaces lend themselves to large public artworks. Florida has talented artists ready to work "big" they just need the local support and opportunity. Some are coming around to the idea. Last Saturday Christine and I were on a boat touring the Intercoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale and I noticed that some of the big houses now have large outdoor sculptures. I hope this trend continues. GL
