A nice sunday with friends, Elvis and the Winter Sculpture fair.

Yesterday Shane, Leigh, Brad, Jake and I went to the Mastercard Winter Sculpture Fair out a the NIROX Sculpture Park. Judging from the huge amount of people that attended I would say that it was a roaring success. It was so nice to be out in the sun with friends, good wine and pork belly. They had a bunch of food and wine stalls there that had some pretty tasty things up for offer and the grounds themselves are beautiful, they were green and well looked after and some of the sculptures on show were amazing. Now I’m no art buff, so I appreciated only some of the pieces, others my little mind just couldn’t or rather wouldn’t let me hit the ‘like’ button, I just didn’t get the idea or the sentiment behind them, they were just there filling space, but in the same token there were some that were super cool and interesting, so the art balanced itself out and I was happy. There were also some really nice things to buy there, buy I managed to restrain myself from running up my credit card. Good Angie, good.

I think my most favourite pieces at the fair had to be Francios Van Reenen’s work, his stuff is just so carefree and fun (speaking of Francios Van Reenen, I must show you what I bought from him – so excited about my new purchase) and he had giant sculptures there too, which were amazing to see up close. The dog below is his, as well as the 3 pieces after that. He even had the little girl with the sausage dogs on display, which is one of my absolute favourites.

All in all it was a good day, but it didn’t end there, Elvis paid us a visit too – next post.
