Last weekend was the annual Arts in Action Festival which showcases sand sculptors in the Windermere Sand Sculpture Classic contest. “Do Not Feed the Bears,” above, by Damon Farmer was the contest winner. It’s amazing what warmth and detail he coaxes out of sand.
This year’s theme was “Going to the Zoo.” Friday evening, at the beginning of the festival, is interesting because the sculptors are often still at work on their creations. Check in tomorrow to see more “artist at work” shots.
I don’t understand people with such creative talent but I tip my hat to them. Look at the smile on the bear’s face. Superb creation!
People working with sand are so talented.
Sand better used here than in my shoes!
He has done a fine job with this sculpture. Sand sculpture is a big thing in southwest Florida, where I spend the winter, but I have never taken the time to go look at them. This winter I should do it.
