Finding Art - It Comes in All Shapes and Sizes

Sit back, relax and grab your favorite beverage.
Here is another episode of Finding Art.
 
As I was going through my cell phone I found more pictures I took in Chicago during Thanksgiving weekend.
 
These pictures (if I remember) are during black Friday shopping.
 
This is on a building.

 
This partial wall is full of colorful bricks.
Selfies always in front of this!


 
Love the decay.


 
I'm a little in love with fire escapes although I wouldn't want to climb down one.


 
This is a picture of all the soaps and bath bombs in Lush. During the day they throw a bath bomb in a big sink so everyone can watch. It's like a Willy Wonka store for soaps.

 
What better way to get everyone in an AT&T store!
Yes, real costumes from the Justice League.
They were pretty cool.


 
I wouldn't mind a movie all about him!

 
 


 
Love cars.


 
Downtown Chicago there is the annual Christkindlmarket.
We had to take a selfie with Klampus!

 
I look for this every time I go to Chicago.
The first visit to Chicago was when we took our daughter to see a collage. This entrepreneur attaches this handmade stage to his bike and wheels it around. It's a fun puppet show with funny music. I have to stop and watch it every time. It puts a smile on my face.


 
We usually stay at the Acme Hotel while in Chicago.
It's my favorite hotel. It's down to earth, full of art and comfortable. Don't get me wrong, we've stayed in many 4 star hotels, my husband is an agent, and they are beautiful but I don't want to walk in the door and feel underdressed all the time.
 
We had a suite this time. This zipper was on the living room wall.


 
Love the lips on the bathroom mirror.

 
Light fixture on the living room ceiling.

 
Fall leaves are always a piece of nature's art.

 
City outside the hotel window.

 
Like I've said before .. look up, look down, look all around, Art is every where!
 
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Finding Art - Thanksgiving 2017

Hi Everyone!
Today is another post on Finding Art.
I'm really loving these posts.
 
My daughter lives in Chicago so we are there for Thanksgiving. So far all my Finding Art posts are in Chicago (another location is coming up soon). It's amazing how much art you see.
 
Love this bright butterfly mural on this building.



I never checked to see if the other half of the butterfly was around the corner.
 




 
I love this next installation. I don't know what it's all about. There was no sign. Each face was decoupage on the rocks.  


 
This face is a little haunting.
 

 
 




 
 

 
Subway
 

Remember look up, look down, look all around.
Art is everywhere but you have to look!
 
Thank you so much for stopping by!

FINDING ART - CHICAGO PART II

Welcome back!
Today I have a few more pictures of art in Chicago. 

We went downtown and found an art show on Michigan Avenue being held on Pioneer Court. In the middle of the art show was Abraham Lincoln handing a young man the Gettysburg Address. You can read all about it HERE.



Here are a few pieces of art including a couch!



I think I would love to throw paint on a couch.


Here are some close ups.



When you're shopping look around the store, you will probably see some art.  




Here is a close up of the circles.




Even cleats can be a work of art.




 I love Chicago's buildings.  







Music is art!



Remember look up, down and all the way around to find art!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
