Scarecrow Installation - Vincent Van "Cr"ogh's "S(c)a(r)y Night"

Here are a few views of the scarecrow I created for Cheekwood Art and Garden's Fall Celebration (www.cheekwood.org):

Van "Crogh's" face was created over a hard floral Styrofoam ball, covered with crazy quilted burlap and then embroidered.  His "hair" was attached via a rug hooking technique.

 

I just love creating art that will amuse and entertainment the children, as well as their parents and other family members.

If anyone is in the Nashville area, stop by Cheekwood and enjoy its beautiful 50 acre botanical garden, award winning restaurant, and, of course, the art museum!

Fall is my favorite time of year - I was so happy to be a part of such a creative event.  I can't wait to see all the other scarecrows!!!

For Art's Sake,
